Mapping Children's Discussions of Evidence in Science to Assess Collaboration and Argumentation [PDF]
, 2006 The research reported in this paper concerns the development of children's skills of interpreting and evaluating evidence in science. Previous studies have shown that school teaching often places limited emphasis on the development of these skills, which

Reactivity in the hippocampectomized gerbil [PDF]
Psychonomic Science, 1968 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]
Behavior Research Methods & Instrumentation, 1972 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.

The Journal of Physiology, 2008 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 ...

Interaural time difference processing in the mammalian medial superior olive [PDF]
, 2008 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)].

Membrane properties specialize mammalian inner hair cells for frequency or intensity encoding
eLife, 2015 The auditory pathway faithfully encodes and relays auditory information to the brain with remarkable speed and precision. The inner hair cells (IHCs) are the primary sensory receptors adapted for rapid auditory signaling, but they are not thought to be ...

, 2012 The gerbil is usually nonaggressive and is one of the easiest rodents to maintain and handle. Its disposition, curious nature, relative freedom from naturally occurring infectious diseases, and adaptability to its environment have contributed to its popularity as a laboratory animal. Gerbils are found in deserts and semiarid geographical regions of the

Establishment and Characterization of a Newly Established Diabetic Gerbil Line. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 We aimed to selectively breed a spontaneous diabetic gerbil when a sub-line of inbred gerbil showed increased blood glucose levels was found recently. Then we investigated the characteristics including the serum insulin, triglyceride, cholesterol, leptin,
