EP026 老鼠會對昏倒的同伴做「急救」? 這件事是真的

簡介2025年,南加州大學的神經科學家在實驗室監視器畫面裡,拍到一段沒人預期到的畫面:一隻老鼠發現同伴失去意識倒地,不但沒有躲開,反而湊過去做出一連串越來越激烈的動作,最後甚至伸手把對方的舌頭拉了出來。這不是單一意外,三個獨立團隊各自都記錄到類似的行為。這集我們就來看看,老鼠到底在「急救」什麼,牠們是真的想幫忙,還是我們把牠們想得太善良了。資料來源Sun, W., Zhang, G.W., Huang, J.J., Tao, C., Seo, M.B., Tao, H.W., & Zhang, L.I.(2025).〈Reviving-like prosocial behavior in response to unconscious or dead conspecifics in rodents〉,《Science》,387(6736)。2025年2月21日發表:https://doi.org/10.1126/science.adq2677Smithsonian Magazine,〈Lab Mice Appear to Offer 'First Aid' Care to Their Unconscious Companions, Even Pulling on Their Tongues〉,2025,含專家James Burkett、Cristina Márquez、Peggy Mason評論:https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/lab-mice-appear-to-offer-first-aid-care-to-their-unconscious-companions-even-pulling-on-their-tongues-180986102/NPR / Houston Public Media,〈Lab mice may give 'first aid' to unconscious mates〉,2025-02-21:https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/npr/2025/02/21/nx-s1-5305006/lab-mice-may-give-first-aid-to-unconscious-mates/ZME Science,〈Mice Perform 'First Aid' in Natural Instinct to Rescue Their Peers〉,2025,含研究者Li Zhang、Huizhong Tao直接引語:https://www.zmescience.com/ecology/animals-ecology/mice-perform-first-aid-in-natural-instinct-to-rescue-their-peers/Phys.org,〈Mice exhibit first aid behavior, aiding unconscious peers〉,2025-03,含其他獨立實驗室(如UCLA杏仁核相關發現)的補充報導:https://phys.org/news/2025-03-mice-aid-behavior-aiding-unconscious.htmlLeave a comment and share your thoughts: https://open.firstory.me/user/cmp81oi0f04qv01ue79ky4fro/comments Powered by Firstory Hosting
