冬天到來，各動物均出盡渾身解數迎接大自然給予的挑戰，譬如老生常談的燕子南遷及松鼠冬眠等等。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ1XhIy4Jh

（圖2）而今次將要介紹的主角，就是體積非常細小的小臭鼩(Etruscan shrew)。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipZf1rILAV

（圖3）冬天期間，小臭鼩(Etruscan shrew)的大腦皮層厚度會相應減少。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lpSoST4ty
從圖中可見，唯獨是L4區域有所縮細，其他區域並無顯著改變。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYZ57QNALi

（圖4）有趣的是，在夏天期間，若果食物供應不足夠的話，小臭鼩(Etruscan shrew)的大腦皮層厚度亦會相應減少。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlzyBJPmp3
但若果食物供應足夠的話，則不會出現「腦細」的情況。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjqtHin2Ud

832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U49rGx34a
（圖5）之所出現「腦細」的其中一個原因，相信是與新陳代謝有關。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagWk1UoFWw
對比其他區域，L4區域含有最高濃度的Cytochrome oxidase(CO)蛋白酶，832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKNnLFSJjf
而CO蛋白酶的功用則為製造能源。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXtVYnQgSy
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AUj9NY4MC
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNSlxmSBZU
這暗示出可能小臭鼩為了應對冬天食物短缺問題，所以索性盡量棄用與新陳代謝有關的部份，以作節省資源。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gPow9EY6b
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSuY3ZSipq
當然，亦不排除有其他的可能性。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ySoYln0hc

（圖6）圖中為大腦皮層磁力共振得出的影像。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnzoLwnMHi
藍綠色為冬天的時候，而橙黃色則為夏天時候。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvm45DPndX
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMnCcDlOG6
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfwI0Bdy92
冬天和夏天的影像互相重疊後，橙黃色的區域較多，顯示夏天的腦部體積較冬天的為大。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGy4c2IBYA
832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CMjtvirAb
平均來說，小臭鼩在冬天時候的大腦皮層厚度會縮減28%左右，但在下一年夏天的時候則會完全恢復回原有的厚度。832Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2P8xS7vu3
