英语新闻听写 科学家研究恐惧与焦虑的新理论

Joseph LeDoux, a scientist who studies fear and anxiety in humans, recently announced that fear and anxiety do not occur in one area of the brain but many.

研究恐惧和焦虑的科学家约瑟夫·勒杜最近宣布，恐惧和焦虑不在大脑的一个区域出现。

LeDoux’s new theory is that fear and anxiety are completely separate and happen in different parts of the brain.

勒杜的新理论是，恐惧和焦虑是完全分离的，在大脑的不同部位发生。

When a someone detects a threat in their environment and gets into defense¹ mode, that’s when fear and anxiety happen simultaneously².

当一个人在环境中发现威胁并进入防御模式时，恐惧和焦虑就会同时发生。

LeDoux also criticized how anti-anxiety drugs only focus on the part of the brain called the ‘fear circuit,’ rather than focusing on the actual fear and anxiety a person experiences.

勒杜还批评了抗焦虑药物仅作用于大脑被称为“恐惧电路”的部分，而不是关注一个人经历的实际恐惧和焦虑。
