“…Previous playback studies have shown that presenting 50-kHz USV evoked various behaviors such as approach ( Wohr and Schwarting, 2007 ), positive responses to ambiguous cues ( Saito et al., 2016 ), reduction in fights ( Kisko et al., 2015a ), restoration of sexual activity in devocalized rats ( White and Barfield, 1989 ), and awakening from haloperidol-induced catalepsy ( Tonelli et al., 2018 ). Whereas, exposing rats to 22-kHz playback inhibited behavior ( Wohr and Schwarting, 2007 ), decreased locomotor activity during replay and immediately afterward ( Sales, 1991 ; Brudzynski and Chiu, 1995 ), and caused negative responses to ambiguous cues ( Saito et al., 2016 ), and anxiety-like behaviors ( Demaestri et al., 2019 ). Presentation of 50-kHz versus 22-kHz playback also resulted in activation of c-Fos in different brain areas ( Beckett et al., 1997 ; Sadananda et al., 2008 ; Ouda et al., 2016 ; Demaestri et al., 2019 ).…”
