Rats synchronize locomotion with ultrasonic vocalizations at the subsecond time scale
Acoustic signals have the potential for transmitting information fast across distances. Rats emit ultrasonic vocalizations of two distinct classes: ‘22-kHz’ or ‘alarm’ calls and ‘50-kHz’ calls. The latter comprises brief sounds in the 30–80 kHz range, whose ethological role is not fully understood....
