Adult male mice emit context-specific ultrasonic vocalizations that are modulated by prior isolation or group rearing environment.

Social interactions in mice are frequently analysed in genetically modified strains in order to get insight of disorders affecting social interactions such as autism spectrum disorders. Different types of social interactions have been described, mostly between females and pups, and between adult mal...
