Age-related hearing loss is a very common sensory disability, affecting one in three older
adults. Establishing a link between anatomical, physiological, and behavioral markers of …

Mouse ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) have variable spectrotemporal features, which
researchers use to parse them into different categories. USVs may be important for communication…

… 3), as well as specializations for ultrasonic communication in air (Okanoya and Screven,
Chap. 2). Given the great diversity in rodent habitats, the great diversity across rodent …

Naked mole-rats are highly vocal, eusocial, subterranean rodents with, counterintuitively,
poor hearing. The causes underlying their altered hearing are unknown. Moreover, whether …

Aging leads to degeneration of the peripheral and central auditory systems, hearing loss,
and difficulty understanding sounds in noise. Aging is also associated with changes in …

Deer mice (genus Peromyscus) are an emerging model for aging studies due to their longevity
relative to rodents of similar size. Although Peromyscus species are well-represented in …

It is currently unclear whether mice use their ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) for communication
purposes. It is also unknown whether mice require previous experience with USVs to …

The iDA Project (iPSCs to Study Diversity in Alzheimer's and Alzheimer's Disease-related
Dementias) is generating 200 induced pluripotent stem cell lines from Alzheimer's Disease …

Mice often produce ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) that sweep upwards in frequency from
around 60 to around 80 kHz and downwards in frequency from 80 to 60 kHz. Whether or not …

This chapter introduces representative studies in acoustic communication in rodents. By
using rodents as a model in which to study the evolution of vocal communication, researchers …
