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 ...

Bulletin of the Psychonomic Society, 1973 Lick rates in infant and adult gerbils were measured for water under 12, 24, and 48 h of deprivation, and for 4%, 16%, and 32% sucrose solutions, under 24 h of deprivation. Mean lick rates were found to be independent of sex, level of deprivation, and fluid consumed. Mean lick rates were affected by the age of the Ss.

Population Coding of Interaural Time Differences in Gerbils and Barn Owls [PDF]
, 2010 Interaural time differences (ITDs) are the primary cue for the localization of low-frequency sound sources in the azimuthal plane. For decades, it was assumed that the coding of ITDs in the mammalian brain was similar to that in the avian brain, where ...

Divergent genes in gerbils: prevalence, relation to GC-biased substitution, and phenotypic relevance
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020 Background Two gerbil species, sand rat (Psammomys obesus) and Mongolian jird (Meriones unguiculatus), can become obese and show signs of metabolic dysregulation when maintained on standard laboratory diets. The genetic basis of this phenotype is unknown.
