NeuroToxicology - Effects of prenatal
ethanol exposure on acoustic characteristics of play fighting-induced

Altogether, we conclude that prenatal exposure to ethanol enhances negative emotionality such as anxiety and, accordingly, 20–35 kHz USVs reflecting negative emotionality are produced with a marked decrease in play fighting, suggesting difficulties in social interactions with conspecifics.
