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。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlbAf8BhNR

（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)。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL71OZoYAyU

（圖3）冬天期間，小臭鼩(Etruscan shrew)的大腦皮層厚度會相應減少。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGqq2oGgh4
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。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloRUqL3jbK

（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。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMcY11ouqZ
但若果食物供應足夠的話，則不會出現「腦細」的情況。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3ae5sNmgz

824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18TlzXbMVF
（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。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQpbl7kGa9
對比其他區域，L4區域含有最高濃度的Cytochrome oxidase(CO)蛋白酶，824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeC6dXKuph
而CO蛋白酶的功用則為製造能源。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XuMmnZEGo
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU4qGcHHW5
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmkwmqzkuv
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。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT0jZPjsu4
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpii1vRHqT
當然，亦不排除有其他的可能性。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTB1q0TuS0

（圖6）圖中為大腦皮層磁力共振得出的影像。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CvYdhp6ku
藍綠色為冬天的時候，而橙黃色則為夏天時候。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbSSFryfZN
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH5dnazF8i
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9njLjIgAmb
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。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsuErRZrCc
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lCCx2udlw
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。824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHKVNKLYfR
