Feral and captive lemmings from Churchill, Manitoba, are subject to a unique pathological process in which colloidal material is deposited in bloodvessel walls at scattered points through the central nervous system. Destruction of nervous tissue at these foci is progressive, and colloidal masses in the vascular lumina of the hypothalamus appear to become fixed in the capillaries of the hypophyseal anterior lobe. Inflammatory reactions are never associated with the lesions, and the latter are larger and more numerous in older animals in warmer environments.
来自曼尼托巴省丘吉尔市的野生和圈养旅鼠会经历一种独特的病理过程，即胶体物质分散沉积在中枢神经系统各处的血管壁中。这些病灶处的神经组织破坏呈进行性发展，下丘脑血管腔中的胶体团块似乎会固定在垂体前叶的毛细血管中。炎症反应从未与这些病变相关联，而且在温暖环境中的老年动物体内，这些病变更大且数量更多。
