This review summarizes all reported and suspected functions of ultrasonic vocalizations in
infant and adult rats. The review leads to the conclusion that all types of ultrasonic …

Mice and rats emit ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs), which may express their arousal and
emotional states, to communicate with each other. There is continued scientific effort to …

Abstract BONAUTO, SM, OM Greuel, and JA Honeycutt. Playback of rat 22-kHz ultrasonic
vocalizations as a translational assay of negative affective states: An analysis of evoked …

Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) affect around 1.5% of the global population, which
manifest alterations in communication and socialization, as well as repetitive behaviors or …

Rats are highly social animals known to communicate with ultrasonic vocalizations (USV) of
different frequencies. Calls around 50 kHz are thought to represent a positive affective state …

The rat model is a useful tool for understanding peripheral and central mechanisms of
laryngeal biology. Rats produce ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) that have communicative …

Early life adversity (ELA) increases the incidence of later-life anxiety disorders. Dysregulated
threat processing, including responsivity to ambiguous threats, is an indicator of anxiety …

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a highly heterogeneous neurodevelopmental condition
characterized by atypical social interaction and communication together with repetitive …

Anxiety disorders are associated with a failure to sufficiently extinguish fear memories. The
