| Abstract: | Tactile stimuli, like environmental temperature changes, can evoke ultrasonic responses from albino mouse pups. But the changes with age in the intensity of ultrasounds so produced follow a different pattern from those due to temperature changes. The responses begin with very high intensity pulses in the very young pups and then gradually decline with the age of the pups. The present report arises from a systematic study of this phenomenon, the results of which are discussed in relation to those of previous ones. |
