中国科学家研究大脑如何做决定
Chinese Scientists Study How the Brain Decides
🎧 配套听、读、练、PDF讲义趣英语
Scientists in China have found out how our brain makes quick decisions. Their study came out in the journal Science on October 16.
For a long time, people thought a braincell was very simple, like a small dot. But it is more like a tree with long branches. The scientists watched live mice. They found that these branches help the mice learn new rules. The body of the cell takes in what the mouse sees and hears. Together they help the mouse choose.
The team worked on this study for about ten years. Their finding may help scientists build smarter computers in the future.
参考译文
中国科学家弄清了我们的大脑是如何快速做出决定的。他们的研究成果于10月16日发表在英国《科学》杂志上。
很长一段时间里,人们以为脑细胞非常简单,就像一个小点。但它其实更像一棵长着许多枝条的树。科学家观察了活体小鼠,发现这些枝条能帮助小鼠学会新的规则。细胞的主体负责接收小鼠看到和听到的信息,两者一起帮助小鼠做出选择。
这个团队在这项研究上花了大约十年时间。他们的发现可能会帮助科学家在未来造出更聪明的计算机。
