時(shí)差N小時(shí):毒品與學(xué)習(xí)(下) Drugs and learning new information
答案當(dāng)然是“No”。
Evidence indicates that prior use of some drugsimpairs the brain's ability to forge new connectionsbetween neurons in response to new experiences.
科學(xué)證據(jù)表明在接觸新事物之前服用某些藥物會(huì)破壞大腦因新事物刺激神經(jīng)元之間建立連接的能力。
Scientists took a bunch of rats and gave some ofthem either amphetamine or cocaine for twentydays, while giving the others a saline solution fortwenty days.
科學(xué)家們用大量的老鼠來進(jìn)行試驗(yàn)。他們將老鼠分成兩組，第一組老鼠喂食20天的安非他命或是可卡因，第二組老鼠喂食20天的鹽水。
When the twenty days were up, half of the rats were moved from ordinary laboratory cages tofancy new cages equipped with all kinds of bridges, ramps, tunnels, and other toys.
20天過后，他們將一半的老鼠從普通的實(shí)驗(yàn)籠子轉(zhuǎn)移到配備有橋梁，坡道，有隧道以及其他玩具的“超豪華”的新籠子里。After three and half months thescientists examined all of the rats brains.
三個(gè)半月后，科學(xué)家們對(duì)老鼠的大腦進(jìn)行了仔細(xì)的研究。
They discovered that the saline solution rats that were moved to the new cages had a greaternumber of neuronal connections than all the other rats, including the drugged rats in the newcages.
他們發(fā)現(xiàn)，搬入新環(huán)境的喂食鹽水的老鼠比其他的老鼠建立了更多的神經(jīng)元連接。
These findings may aid in explaining some of the behavioral and cognitiveimpairments viewedin people who are addicted to drugs.
這些研究發(fā)現(xiàn)可能有助于解釋為什么那些吸毒成癮的人會(huì)有一定的行為和認(rèn)知障礙。
