The function of the flank gland of the golden hamster, Mesocricetus auratus, is not clear but it appears to be involved in signals of sexual and social status and familiarity of the male to the female. Sexually receptive females spend more time near flank scent marks of intact males than castrates, or clean controls. They also stay longer near marks from familiar males than novel males. Finally, these females spend more time near marks of dominant males (compared with subordinate males) (Montgomery-St. Laurent etal, 1988).

A protocol of isolation and culture of hippocampal neurons has been optimized by using a hibernating rodent, the hamster Mesocricetus auratus as our animal model [57]. Preliminary results demonstrated the feasibility of culturing hippocampal neurons in a membrane biohybrid system. The substrate is of great importance for the survival and differentiation of neuronal cultures. As substrate we used a gas-permeable (C02, 02, and H20 vapor) fluorocarbon foil membrane (FC), modified with a coating of poly-L-lysine in order to improve the interactions with cells.
