Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the contexts, mechanisms, and suggested functions of rat vocalizations. Topics discussed include frequency and temporal characteristics of vocalizations, environmental contexts associated with ultrasonic vocalizations, anatomical considerations, functional significance of ultrasonic vocalizations, and the vocalizing rat as a model of human psychological disorders.Keywords
