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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVaILf19Su

（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)。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7X4PrtroW

（圖3）冬天期間，小臭鼩(Etruscan shrew)的大腦皮層厚度會相應減少。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEQyAGEqgl
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJpLfKLhTK
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbr1fbNoMw
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6pXcP8dI4
（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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEBaWu8tDR
但若果食物供應足夠的話，則不會出現「腦細」的情況。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71fV3TC2Ml

839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Lg2J2SEKz
（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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH5EImoqUK
對比其他區域，L4區域含有最高濃度的Cytochrome oxidase(CO)蛋白酶，839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcfSLjVqEU
而CO蛋白酶的功用則為製造能源。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNYGMNZKEO
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqrl61822k
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZssJqhbHXr
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFpgmI41rC
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqNxpkOoH6
當然，亦不排除有其他的可能性。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMK2R7OhvU

（圖6）圖中為大腦皮層磁力共振得出的影像。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pHA0UcUqA
藍綠色為冬天的時候，而橙黃色則為夏天時候。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczRbLa9cOd
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfRPTYxFCq
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYRGs8KwoL
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz257otcZd
839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWviotz1mK
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。839Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8l5J0onRq
