The Virology of Taterapox Virus In Vitro
Taterapox virus (TATV) is phylogenetically the closest related virus to variola—the etiological agent of smallpox. Despite the similarity, few studies have evaluated the virus.

Brain atlas of the Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus) in CT/MRI-aided stereotaxic coordinates
A new stereotaxic brain atlas of the Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus), an important animal model in neurosciences, is presented. It combines high-quality histological material for identification of brain structures with reliable stereotaxic ...

Transplantable melanomas in hamsters and gerbils as models for human melanoma : sensitization in melanoma radiotherapy : from animal models to clinical trials [PDF]
The focus of the present review is to investigate the role of melanin in the radioprotection of melanoma and attempts to sensitize tumors to radiation by inhibiting melanogenesis. Early studies showed radical scavenging, oxygen consumption and adsorption

Epizootiologic Parameters for Plague in Kazakhstan
Reliable estimates are lacking of key epizootiologic parameters for plague caused by Yersinia pestis infection in its natural reservoirs. We report results of a 3-year longitudinal study of plague dynamics in populations of a maintenance host, the great ...

Interaural time difference processing in the mammalian medial superior olive [PDF]
The dominant cue for localization of low-frequency sounds are microsecond differences in the time-of-arrival of sounds at the two ears [interaural time difference (ITD)].

Reactivity in the hippocampectomized gerbil [PDF]
Gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) suffering bilateral hippocampal destruction, destruction of the posterolateral neocortex, and normal animals were presented auditory and visual stimulation at both high and low intensities. Hippocampectomized Ss showed enhanced reactivity in the high intensity conditions.

Conditioned suppression in the gerbil [PDF]
The present report describes apparatus and procedures for investigating conditioned suppression of a running response in the gerbil. Data are presented which demonstrate that the conditioned suppression observed in this situation is not an artifact of alpha responses, pseudoconditioning, or sensitization.

Delayed treatment with nimesulide reduces measures of oxidative stress following global ischemic brain injury in gerbils [PDF]
Metabolism of arachidonic acid by cyclooxygenase is one of the primary sources of reactive oxygen species in the ischemic brain. Neuronal overexpression of cyclooxygenase-2 has recently been shown to contribute to neurodegeneration following ischemic ...

Mammals have developed a unique sense of hearing with astonishing sensitivity and the largest frequency range among vertebrates. Frequency representation in mammals is achieved by mechanical tuning of the cochlea, caused mainly by geometrical and stiffness gradients of the basilar membrane changing from the cochlear base (where high frequencies are ...
