Abstract: Abstract Paradoxical kinesia refers to a sudden transient ability of akinetic patients to perform motor tasks they are otherwise unable to perform. The mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are unknown due a paucity of valid animal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2021.102426
Abstract: Summary Communication constitutes a fundamental component of mammalian social behavior. Rats are highly social animals and emit 50-kHz ultrasonic vocalizations (USV), which function as social contact calls. Playback of 50-kHz USV leads to strong and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pnpbp.2018.07.002
Abstract: Abstract Mania is characterized by elevated drive and mood but animal models of mania have often neglected elevated mood. Ultrasonic vocalizations (USV) of 50‐kHz emitted by rats are thought to index the subject's positive affective… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnbeh.2021.812142
Abstract: Rats are highly social animals known to communicate with ultrasonic vocalizations (USV) of different frequencies. Calls around 50 kHz are thought to represent a positive affective state, whereas calls around 22 kHz are believed to… read more here.
