The Organization of Somatostatin-Immunoreactive Cells in the Visual Cortex of the Gerbil
Somatostatin (SST) is widely expressed in the brain and plays various, vital roles involved in neuromodulation. The purpose of this study is to characterize the organization of SST neurons in the Mongolian gerbil visual cortex (VC) using ...

A flexible and efficient algorithm for joint imputation of general data [PDF]
Imputation of data with general structures (e.g., data with continuous, binary, unordered categorical, and ordinal variables) is commonly performed with fully conditional specification (FCS) instead of joint modeling. A key drawback of FCS is that it does not invoke an appropriate data augmentation mechanism and as such convergence of the resulting ...

Dietary fat and cholesterol and serum cholesterol in the gerbil
Groups of gerbils were fed purified diets containing either 10 or 20% of safflower, olive, or coconut oil. Each diet was fed without cholesterol and with 0.1 and 0.2% of added cholesterol.

Gerbil: A Fast and Memory-Efficient $k$-mer Counter with GPU-Support [PDF]
A basic task in bioinformatics is the counting of $k$-mers in genome strings. The $k$-mer counting problem is to build a histogram of all substrings of length $k$ in a given genome sequence. We present the open source $k$-mer counting software Gerbil that has been designed for the efficient counting of $k$-mers for $k\geq32$. Given the technology trend

Outer hair cells stir cochlear fluids
We hypothesized that active outer hair cells drive cochlear fluid circulation. The hypothesis was tested by delivering the neurotoxin, kainic acid, to the intact round window of young gerbil cochleae while monitoring auditory responses in the cochlear ...

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 injury.
