Figure 5. Male and female mice vocalize together.
(A) Example spectrogram of male and female USVs. (B) Raster plots of male USVs plotted relative to female vocalizations (each row is associated with a single female vocalization with onset at t = 0 s; female vocalizations = 6832; rows sorted by male vocalization rate). (C) Female USVs plotted relative to male vocalizations (male vocalizations = 30,395; rows sorted by female vocalization rate). (D–E) Plots of female-vocalization-triggered average male USV rate (D) and male-vocalization-triggered average female USV rate (E). Colored lines represent group averages (n = 7) with SEM (shaded patch). Black lines represent group averages (n = 1000) for randomly generated trigger times. Light gray patches show the range of the randomly generated group averages.
