## Abstract Sensory and temporal factors have been demonstrated to be involved in the regulation of isolationβinduced ultrasonic vocalizations (USV) of young rats. Sensory cues include thermal, olfactory, and tactile modalities. Temporal factors include the time spent in isolation. The goal of the

Sixty hooded Long-Evans rats were assigned to one of three conditions: isolation-rearing (from 14-30 days of age), brief isolation (from 28-30 days of age), and normal (no isolation). From day 14 to day 21, the isolation-reared animals were maintained in an incubator set at 35Β°C to prevent hypotherm
In lactating rats, upper snout desensitization by trigeminal denervation severely impairs maternal behavior, with substantial recovery 12-24 hr later. The potential effects of interaction with pups on this recovery was investigated. Dams were subjected to bilateral infraorbital denervation or sham s
