Ethology and Neuropharmacology: Rodent Ultrasounds

  • Chapter
Animal Models in Psychopharmacology

Abstract

One of the most fascinating and instructive illustrations of how neural networks mediate complex communication comes from the neuroethological studies with zebra finches and canaries that sing to court mates and defend their territories (e.g., Nottebohm, 1985, 1981). The results from oscine songbirds inform importantly on the plasticity of the neural network, its seasonal androgen-dependent expression, and the behavioural significance in reproductive and agonistic contexts. However, less is known about the neurochemical characteristics of these communication-specific networks and how potential neural receptors in these networks may be targeted by substances with known effects of affective expression in mammals. Nonetheless these investigations point to multisynaptic networks involving aminergic and steroid-sensitive cells that mediate the initiation and production of important communicative signals.
