“…Rats emit a variety of ultrasonic social signals in association with ethologically important interactions (Sales and Pye, 1975;van der Poel and Miczek, 1991), but relatively little is known about how conspecifics normally decode these USVs or discriminate among them. The ability to record and reproduce rat USVs inexpensively and with excellent fidelity now allows these questions to be explored in detail.…”

“…These frequency-modulated (FM) social signals occur in a narrow bandwidth (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30) and consist of a string of "long calls" (each Ͼ200 msec) (van der Poel and Miczek, 1991;Brudzynski and Barnabi, 1993;Choi and Brown, 2003). Rats communicate extensively through USVs in two frequency bands: 20 -30 and 40 -70 kHz (Sewell, 1970;Sales and Pye, 1975).…”

Perirhinal Cortex Supports Delay Fear Conditioning to Rat Ultrasonic Social Signals

Auditory information can reach the lateral nucleus of the amygdala (LA) through a monosynaptic thalamic projection or a polysynaptic cortical route. The polymodal input from the perirhinal cortex (PR) is a major informational gateway to the LA and nearby structures. Pretraining PR lesions impair fear conditioning to a context, but there have been no reports that they cause deficits in delay conditioning to an auditory cue. The direct subcortical projection to the LA seems sufficient to support delay conditioning to a tone conditional stimulus (CS). We examined the effect of PR lesions on delay conditioning to two different tone conditional stimuli (4 and 22 kHz tones; both 10 sec duration) and two different rat ultrasonic vocalization (USV) conditional stimuli (10 sec of "22 kHz USVs"). The two USV conditional stimuli were multi-call segments that were recorded (digitized at 100 kHz) from two different rats. One USV CS was a continuous sequence of eight calls, and the other was a portion of a continuous sequence of six calls. PR lesions significantly impaired conditioning to both USV conditional stimuli and to the training context but had no significant effect on conditioning to either tone CS. The role of PR in fear conditioning appears not to be determined by whether the conditional stimuli serve as contexts or cues, but instead by the nature or complexity of the stimuli or stimulus configurations. These cue-specific effects of PR lesions are suggested to reflect differences in the stimulus features that are encoded in the two CS pathways to the LA.

“…Right whales are not amenable to conventional behavioral or electrophysical methods for measuring hearing because of their large size and endangered status. The frequency range of best hearing is commonly thought to overlap with that of stereotypical species calls (Sales and Pye, 1974). Most baleen whale vocalizations have the majority of their energy below 1 kHz.…”

Some knowledge of the hearing abilities of right whales is important for understanding their acoustic communication system and possible impacts of anthropogenic noise. Traditional behavioral or physiological techniques to test hearing are not feasible with right whales. Previous research on the hearing of marine mammals has shown that functional models are reliable estimators of hearing sensitivity in marine species. Fundamental to these models is a comprehensive analysis of inner ear anatomy. Morphometric analyses of 18 inner ears from 13 stranded North Atlantic right whales (Eubalaena glacialis) were used for development of a preliminary model of the frequency range of hearing. Computerized tomography was used to create two-dimensional (2D) and 3D images of the cochlea. Four ears were decalcified and sectioned for histologic measurements of the basilar membrane. Basilar membrane length averaged 55.7 mm (range, 50.5 mm-61.7 mm). The ganglion cell density/mm averaged 1,842 ganglion cells/mm. The thickness/width measurements of the basilar membrane from slides resulted in an estimated hearing range of 10 Hz-22 kHz based on established marine mammal models. Additional measurements from more specimens will be necessary to develop a more robust model of the right whale hearing range. Anat Rec, 290:734-744, 2007. 2007 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

“…Until recently, studies of the natural behavior of bats instead were done by listening to bats with ultrasonic detectors. [1][2][3] With some exceptions, 4 visual observations of bats at night took place mainly with the aid of marking techniques, 5 and video records were not made. Consequently, the principal body of information was acoustic-describing the elegant variety and adaptive changes of sonar signals used by different species of bats in relation to behavior.…”
