Audible vocalization

(AM200000)

Production of vocal audible sound

Monitoring vocalizations; Monitoring ultrasonic vocalizations; Resident-intruder test; General observations

Ultrasonic vocalization

(AM200001)

Production of vocal ultrasonic sound; production of vocal ultrasonic sound in response to a variety of environmental triggers, including separation from mother, interaction with other strange or familiar conspecifics of same or opposite sex

Monitoring ultrasonic vocalizations; Reciprocal social interaction test

Ultrasonic vocalization: interaction induced

(AM200002)

Ultrasonic vocalization induced in juvenile (2-4 weeks) or adult mice during social interaction with stimulus mice

Monitoring ultrasonic vocalizations; Reciprocal social interaction test; Spectographic analysis of vocalization recordings

Ultrasonic vocalization: interaction induced: opposite sex stimulus

(AM200003)

Ultrasonic vocalization induced in juvenile (2-4 weeks) or adult during social interaction with stimulus mice of the opposite sex

Monitoring ultrasonic vocalizations; Reciprocal social interaction test; Scent marking test; Song analysis

Ultrasonic vocalization: isolation induced

(AM200004)

Ultrasonic vocalization induced in young pups following separation from mother

Monitoring ultrasonic vocalizations; Spectographic analysis of vocalization recordings; Reciprocal social interaction test

Ultrasonic vocalization: prosocial

(AM200005)

Generation and rate of pro-social or hedonic or pleasurable ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) characterized by a frequency of 50 kHz emitted in pleasurable, enjoyable, appetitive, and rewarding situations

Monitoring ultrasonic vocalizations

Ultrasonic vocalization: alarm

(AM200006)

Generation and rate of alarm or aversive ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) characterized by a frequency of 22 kHz, emitted in dangerous and threatening situations, or situations causing discomfort, frustration, and significant stress and anxiety

Monitoring ultrasonic vocalizations

Ultrasonic vocalization: monotonous

(AM200007)

Generation and rate of non-frequency modulated ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) characterized by a limited bandwidth, usually less than 7 kHz

Monitoring ultrasonic vocalizations

Ultrasonic vocalization: interaction induced: opposite sex stimulus: simple syllables

(AM200008)

Ultrasonic vocalization of syllables that are included in longer series of vocalizations called sequences (that are combined together to produce a 'song'), produced without any pitch jumps, hence simple in composition, in response to opposite sex stimulus

Song analysis

Ultrasonic vocalization: interaction induced: opposite sex stimulus: complex syllables

(AM200009)

Ultrasonic vocalization of syllables that are included in longer series of vocalizations called sequences (that are combined together to produce a 'song') containing one or more, downward or upward, pitch jump: hence complex, in response to an opposite sex stimulus

Song analysis

Ultrasonic vocalization: interaction induced: same sex stimulus

(AM200010)

Ultrasonic vocalization of syllable sequences or song in response to same sex stimulus

Song analysis; Reciprocal social interaction test; Monitoring ultrasonic vocalizations

Ultrasonic vocalization: interaction induced: opposite sex stimulus: syllable transition

(AM200011)

Dynamic changes between different ultrasonic vocalization syllable types, including silence, of males in response to females
