Animal models are widely used to test new treatments, yet rodent assays are often disconnected from the human conditions they aim to represent.
Motor function and behaviour are two domains that can be assessed in mice and rats. What is less widely known is that mice primarily communicate in ultrasonic frequencies, undetectable to the human ear. Understanding these vocal behaviours offers important opportunities to better link rodent and human models of disease.
Adam Vogel will be speaking at the SGV Swiss Laboratory Animal Science Association Meeting 2025 in Zurich on:
“Ultrasonic vocalisations: linking human and rodent communication”
Event dates: 2–3 December 2025
Talk: 3 December 2025, 1:25pm
Location: Switzerland
In this session, Adam will explore how vocal behaviour in rodents can inform research into human communication, helping to strengthen translational work across species in neuroscience and behavioural science.
If you are attending the SGV Meeting 2025, we would be pleased to connect.
