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 …

While the cause of autism remains unknown, the high concordance between monozygotic
twins supports a strong genetic component. The importance of genetic factors in autism …

The importance of genetic factors in autism has prompted the development of mutant mouse
models to advance our understanding of biological mechanisms underlying autistic …

BTBR T+ tf/J (BTBR) is an inbred mouse strain that displays social abnormalities and
repetitive behaviors analogous to the first and third diagnostic symptoms of autism. Here we …

In neonatal mice ultrasonic vocalizations have been studied both as an early communicative
behaviour of the pup–mother dyad and as a sign of an aversive affective state. Adult mice of …

BTBR T+ tf/J (BTBR) is an inbred mouse strain that displays social deficits and repetitive
behaviors analogous to the first and third diagnostic symptoms of autism. We previously …

Adult mice are highly vocal animals, with both males and females vocalizing in same sex
and cross sex social encounters. Mouse pups are also highly vocal, producing isolation …

Rodents emit ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) to communicate the presence of positive or
negative emotional states and to coordinate social interactions. On this basis, USVs are …

Ultrasonic vocalisations (USVs) emitted by altricial rodent pups are whistle-like sounds with
frequencies between 30 and 90 kHz. These signals play an important communicative role in …
