Study Reveals Rodents Use Ultrasonic Sounds to Enhance Smell

Research suggests that mice and rats manipulate particles with sound to boost their olfactory abilities.

Rodents use ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) to stir up particles in their environment, potentially enhancing their sense of smell.
This phenomenon, likened to 'Jedi' powers, has never been observed or suspected in any other animal species.
The study, published in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, indicates that rodents create new pathways of information by manipulating their surroundings.
These findings could have significant implications for understanding how sound can be used to manipulate nanoparticles.
Rodent USVs, previously thought to be for courtship, may need reevaluation in medical research related to communication and sensory processing.
