Abstract
In mammals which undergo daily or seasonal changes in body temperature, the nervous system was found to be extremly temperature sensitive. Since the polarity of brain gangliosides in the subphylum of vertebrates in general seems to be correlated with the environmental factor temperature, the aim of this study was to follow any implications of the brain ganglioside metabolism in fat dormice being adapted to different temperature situations.
