Assessing Olfaction Using Ultrasonic Vocalization Recordings in Mouse Pups with a Sono-olfactometer
Olfaction is the first sensory modality to develop during fetal life in mammals, and plays a key role in the various viqua-f4 behaviors of neonates such as feeding and social interaction.Odorant cues (i.e., mother or predator scents) can trigger potentiation or inhibition of ultrasonic vocalizations (USV) emitted by pups following their isolation.H
