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。833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayvMDVx1pk

（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)。833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99RrGbiSgd

（圖3）冬天期間，小臭鼩(Etruscan shrew)的大腦皮層厚度會相應減少。833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgck1exZZT
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。833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXUDtqeVV1

（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。833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdJNF2EYxK
但若果食物供應足夠的話，則不會出現「腦細」的情況。833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq4egmjQjb

833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJKmkcagKL
（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。833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtJRMAo9Ju
對比其他區域，L4區域含有最高濃度的Cytochrome oxidase(CO)蛋白酶，833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgDJbI1LKF
而CO蛋白酶的功用則為製造能源。833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKEsCKS1V2
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEsKgNVsNB
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhA11G8ITX
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。833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcnhzS5vbt
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2DAxl824l
當然，亦不排除有其他的可能性。833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyInBsODokC

（圖6）圖中為大腦皮層磁力共振得出的影像。833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9iqpzwu5s
藍綠色為冬天的時候，而橙黃色則為夏天時候。833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sM1bIPEAB
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m3W1pmfJF
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBnMOfCQdq
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。833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom0sTyp7xc
833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmz1Ag2E3N
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。833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91vrQUXv7d
