This study identifies diverse ultrasonic vocalizations in rats beyond the traditional high-short/low-long dichotomy, highlighting the need for broader research into complex affective states.

The paper identifies MPOA Penk neurons that sustain motivational drive during consummatory mating in male mice, promoting the transition from mount to intromission.

Advanced paternal age affects vocal development in early postnatal mice, with more pups showing atypical developmental trajectories.

This paper introduces USVCAM, an acoustic camera system for faster and simpler localization of ultrasonic vocalizations in mice, demonstrating its use in analyzing social communication in a home cage.

This study shows that AUTS2 regulates excitatory synapse number to maintain E/I balance, and its loss leads to autistic-like behaviors and increased brain excitability.

The paper introduces a method to segment ultrasonic vocalizations from rodents in noisy data, showing improved performance over conventional methods.
