Mice use almost completely distinct sets of neurons for their two different types of vocalizations—the squeaks they produce when in distress or fighting and the whistle-like ultrasonic vocalizations ...

Mouse pups produce ultrasonic vocalizations, called isolation USVs, when they are separated from the nest. It's a survival mechanism—baby mice need their parents to regulate their temperature and feed ...

Rodents emit a rich repertoire of ultrasonic vocalizations that serve as windows into their emotional states and social interactions. These high-frequency signals, imperceptible to the human ear ...

In rats, ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs), sounds that are too high-pitched for humans to hear, are associated with various emotional and motivational states, including responses to rewarding stimuli.

One study found that rats emitted ultrasonic vocalizations when they were subjected to manual somatosensory stimulation, i.e., tickling. The results of this controversial research were published in ...

Understanding how the brain processes rewarding experiences could help researchers better understand behaviors such as overeating, as well as conditions such as anhedonia—the inability to experience ...

SAN DIEGO, CA — Using cutting edge molecular techniques in rodent models, researchers are dissecting the neurobiological mechanisms impacted by early life adversity. The findings were presented at ...
