Molecular Prerequisites for Diminished Cold Sensitivity in Ground Squirrels and Hamsters
Summary: Thirteen-lined ground squirrels and Syrian hamsters are known for their ability to withstand cold during hibernation. We found that hibernators exhibit cold tolerance even in the active state. Imaging and electrophysiology of squirrel somatosensory neurons reveal a decrease in cold sensitiv...
