Urban brains behave differently from rural ones
城市人的大脑异于乡村
Shelley contemplates urban decay
沉思城市衰落的雪莱
HELL is a city much like London, opined Percy ByssheShelley in 1819. Modern academics agree. Last year Dutchresearchers showed that city dwellers have a 21% higherrisk of developing anxiety disorders than do their calmerrural countrymen, and a 39% higher risk of developingmood disorders. But exactly how the inner workings of theurban and rural minds cause this difference has remainedobscureuntil now. A study just published in Nature byAndreas Meyer-Lindenberg of the University of Heidelbergand his colleagues has used a scanning technique calledfunctional magnetic-resonance imaging toexamine the brains of city dwellers and country bumpkinswhen they are under stress.
1819 年,波比?雪莱认为伦敦市更像一个地狱。现代学者同意这个观点。荷兰研究人员研究表明,城市居民相对稳定的乡村同胞来说,得焦虑症的概率高出21%,得心理障碍疾病的概率高出39%。但是直到现在,城市思想和乡村思想是如何引起这方面差异的确切原因仍旧是不清楚的。最近海德尔堡大学的学者安德烈亚斯? 迈耶-林登贝格和他的同事在《自然》杂志上发表了一个研究,该研究使用称为机能性磁共振图像的扫描技术测试了在压力下城市居民和乡村居民的大脑活动情况。
