The structure of innate vocalizations in Foxp2-deficient mouse pups
Heterozygous mutations of the human FOXP2 gene are implicated in a severe speech and language disorder. Aetiological mutations of murine Foxp2 yield abnormal synaptic plasticity and impaired motor-skill learning in mutant mice, while knockdown of the avian orthologue in songbirds interferes with auditory-guided vocal learning. Here, we investigate influences of two distinct Foxp2 point mutation...
متن کاملUse of ultrasonic vocalizations to assess olfactory detection in mouse pups treated with 3-methylindole.
Altricial mammals use olfaction long before the olfactory bulb has reached its anatomically mature state. Indeed, while audition and vision are still not functional, the olfactory system of newborn animals can clearly process distinct odorant molecules. Although several previous studies have emphasized the important role that olfaction plays in early critical functions, it has been difficult to...
متن کاملReduction in Ultrasonic Vocalizations in Pups Born to Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Restricted Mothers in Rat Model
The effects of rapid eye movement sleep restriction (REMSR) in rats during late pregnancy were studied on the ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) made by the pups. USVs are distress calls inaudible to human ears. Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep was restricted in one group of pregnant rats for 22 hours, starting from gestational day 14 to 20, using standard single platform method. The USVs of male pu...
متن کاملUltrasonic vocalizations by rat pups in the cold: an acoustic by-product of laryngeal braking?
Isolated rat pups respond to cold exposure physiologically by increasing metabolic heat production and behaviorally by emitting ultrasound. The relationship between these 2 responses was investigated by monitoring oxygen consumption, heat production by brown adipose tissue, respiratory rate, and ultrasound production during cold exposure in pups 10-12 days of age. All 3 physiological measures i...
متن کاملUltrasonic vocalizations by rat pups after adrenergic manipulations of brown fat metabolism.
Rat pups emit ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) during cold challenge. R. F. Kirby and M. S. Blumberg (1998) suggested that when brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis fails to compensate for body heat loss and heart rate declines, infant pups maintain venous return to the heart with a mechanical maneuver that is accompanied by ultrasonic emissions. Thus, manipulations that attenuate or enhance...
