“…Earlier studies have described that rats emit 22 kHz USV in very different circumstances, including the post-ejaculatory period [22,23], while engaging in intraspecific defensive/submissive postures as part of intermale social interaction [24][25][26], when exposed to a predator [27], and in a model of chronic pain [56]. As a result, 22-kilohertz USVs have been suggested as a measure of affective shifts in rats [20,57] and used in a variety of conditioned and unconditioned models of anxiety [58][59][60].…”

The estrous cycle is a physiological process modulated by hormonal changes associated, in turn, with alterations of the attraction or sensitivity with which females perceive different sensory stimuli. Auditory stimuli play an important role in the social interaction of several mammals, including their sexual behavior and the mother-young relationship. Since the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and nucleus accumbens (Acc) had been associated with the processing and assignation of the incentive value of stimuli, this study was designed to analyze whether electroencephalographic (EEG) activity in the PFC and Acc was modified during the two antagonist phases of the estrous cycle (proestrus-estrus and diestrus) when female rats heard sound recordings with different types of cries emitted by other rats. EEGs were recorded in eight female virgin Wistar rats, 80 -100 days old, bilaterally implanted in the PFC and Acc during an awake-quiet state, in three conditions: when hearing 1) cries of pups; 2) cries of adult male rats; and, 3) cries of adult female rats. The cries were recorded from pups (2 -10 days old) and male and female adult rats after gentle prodding by a human hand. Each auditory stimulus (which included vocalizations up to 22 kHz) was randomly played back through a speaker placed near the female rats. Only upon perceiving the cries of male rats did the females in the proestrus-estrous phase show a lower relative power in the 14 -30 Hz band in the Acc and an increased inter-prefrontal correlation in the 8 -13 Hz band. It is probable that these EEG changes are associated with the lower activation or non-anxious state that the female rat presents specifically during the proestrus-estrous phase in response to the alarm cries of adult male rats.

“…However, in our previous study [5], diazepam, an anxiolytic benzodiazepine receptor agonist, did not inhibit USVs elicited in AIA subjects during social interaction tests. Calvino et al [1] also reported that aspirin, a peripheral anti-inflammatory and analgesic compound with no anxiolytic properties, suppressed USVs elicited in AIA rats during social interaction. Therefore, the USV responses investigated in the present study are likely to be associated with chronic pain.…”

“…Naltrexone had no effect on the USVs [naltrexone + vehicle: 3.8 ± 3.2%]. Calvino et al [1] have also reported that morphine (3 mg/kg, i.p.) decreased the USVs elicited in AIA rats during social interactions, though they did not verify the dose-response relationship.…”

“…Several studies (Kaltwasser. 1990;Jourdan et al, 1995;Calvino et al, 1996) have indicated that 22 kHz calls of a rat's vocalization are associated with pain. Vocal behaviour may be useful in developing methods of separation and weaning (Thomas et al, 2001).…”

The vocalizations of animals are very useful in assessing an emotional state and welfare because they involve information about various emotions. Hence, the findings of the acoustic features of vocalization can be used to improve the productivity and welfare of animals. This study was conducted to analyse the vocalizations of dairy calves separated from the dam. At 6 days after birth, 12 dairy calves were moved into an individual calf pen (3.0m×2.0m) bedded with sawdust and straw. One and a half litres of whole milk were fed twice daily and free access to water was allowed. The calves' vocalizations were divided into humming vocalizations (HVs: low continuous calls without tone changed), semi-humming vocalizations (SHVs: low continuous calls with tone changed), and general vocalizations (GVs). These vocalizations were classified, based on the shapes of waveforms and spectrograms. Differences in the duration, fundamental frequency, intensity, and formants among the classified vocalizations were found (P<0.0001). Acoustic parameters except intensity and 3 rd formant were not different between HVs and SHVs. These results suggest that vocalization analysis could be a useful tool in assessing the emotions of calves. Acoustic parameters are also useful in classifying vocalizations. Also, intensity and 3 rd formant are advantageous in distinguishing HVs and SHVs.
