摘要

四分之一个世纪后，大多数啮齿动物研究人员都知道，特定类型的老鼠超声波发声（usv）似乎反映了被赋予唤醒、价值和动机力量的不同情感状态。然而，很少有人知道我们是如何在老鼠玩耍的背景下偶然发现50千赫兹（50kHz）的usv的，因为我们按错了蝙蝠探测器的刻度，我在这里回忆起了这个故事。这个错误的故事强调了意外发现、准备、开放、坚持和支持科学发现的环境的关键作用。

How we stumbled upon the rat play vocalizations: A recollection

Over a quarter of a century later, most rodent researchers know that specific types of rat Ultrasonic Vocalizations (USVs) appear to index distinct affective states endowed with arousal, value, and motivational force. Few know the story, however, of how we accidentally stumbled upon 50 kilohertz (50 kHz) USVs in the context of rat play by turning the wrong dial on a bat detector, which I recollect here. The tale of that mistake highlights the critical roles of serendipity, preparation, openness, persistence, and a supportive environment in scientific discovery.

期刊介绍： Behavioural Brain Research is an international, interdisciplinary journal dedicated to the publication of articles in the field of behavioural neuroscience, broadly defined. Contributions from the entire range of disciplines that comprise the neurosciences, behavioural sciences or cognitive sciences are appropriate, as long as the goal is to delineate the neural mechanisms underlying behaviour. Thus, studies may range from neurophysiological, neuroanatomical, neurochemical or neuropharmacological analysis of brain-behaviour relations, including the use of molecular genetic or behavioural genetic approaches, to studies that involve the use of brain imaging techniques, to neuroethological studies. Reports of original research, of major methodological advances, or of novel conceptual approaches are all encouraged. The journal will also consider critical reviews on selected topics.
