(17) could trigger seizures, and this suggests that the pathophysiology of epileptiform events in gerbils may have a unique association with exploratory behavior.
(18) The effects of transient forebrain ischemia on the extracellular concentration of the excitatory amino acids glutamate and aspartate were studied in the gerbil hippocampus using microdialysis.
(19) Thus we were able to obtain accurate values of the amount and the fatty acid composition of 1,2-diacylglycerols in gerbil forebrains using HPLC and in situ freezing technique.
(20) In the three normoglycemic control groups neurologic status stabilized 120 minutes after the onset of ischemia, in the brief hyperglycemia group stabilization occurred at 210 minutes, and in the prolonged hyperglycemia group neurologic deficit progressed for approximately 360 minutes, coinciding with the death of all but one gerbil, in which the neurologic deficit remained stable until death 23 hours after ischemia.
