A new study reveals that hibernation triggers rapid, reversible structural changes in the visual processing centers of squirrels. While deep hibernation alters specific neuron populations, these structural shifts completely reverse within 1.5 hours of arousal, leaving zero long-term deficits six months post-hibernation.
