近来,一条关于吸烟的报道引起了人们极大兴趣:脑岛(insula)是位于大脑深处形如李子般的脑部结构,其某些部位遭到破坏的人居然很快就戒掉了烟瘾.如果科学家在不破坏脑岛的情况下,解决如何对其施加影响这一问题,那么有理由相信,行之有效的戒烟方法会在不久的将来问世.神经科专家 Recently, there has been a great deal of interest in reports of smoking: the insula is a plum-shaped brain located deep in the brain, and some parts of the insane have actually stopped smoking quickly If scientists address the issue of how to influence them without destroying the insula, there is reason to believe that effective smoking cessation methods will come out in the near future.
