The woodpecker is an experiment in Nature, a model for the investigation of mechanisms of basic importance for head injury and its prevention. A preliminary anatomical study of the woodpecker's head suggests that it may be fruitful to explore impact protective systems which are radically different from those in common use.
啄木鸟是大自然中的一个实验对象，是研究对头部损伤及其预防具有根本重要性的机制的一个模型。对啄木鸟头部的初步解剖学研究表明，探索与常用系统截然不同的冲击保护系统可能会有成果。
