Seasonal and comparative evidence of adaptive gene expression in mammalian brain size plasticity

Seasonal and comparative evidence of adaptive gene expression in mammalian brain size plasticity

Contrasting almost all other mammalian wintering strategies, Eurasian common shrews, Sorex araneus, endure winter by shrinking their brain, skull, and most organs, only to then regrow to breeding size the following spring. How such tiny mammals achieve this unique brain size plasticity while maintai...
