1 60%人腦是脂肪

Yup, our brains are made up of 60 percent fat, says Dr. Michael Green, a research psychologist at Aston University.
沒(méi)錯(cuò)，我們的腦子60%是由脂肪構(gòu)成，阿斯頓大學(xué)的心理研究學(xué)家Michael Green告訴我們。

To function optimally, our brains need to maintain this level of fat. A lower amount of fat, in fact, can lead to neurological disorders. Dieters beware!
為了達(dá)到最佳運(yùn)作效果，我們的大腦需要保持這個(gè)水平的脂肪量。如果脂肪量偏低可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致腦神經(jīng)失調(diào)。節(jié)食減肥的人要注意了！

2 腸道菌會(huì)對(duì)人腦產(chǎn)生影響

According to new research, the composition of gut bacteria can affect brain development and adult behavior.
最新研究結(jié)果顯示，腸道細(xì)菌的合成物會(huì)對(duì)腦部發(fā)育和成人行為產(chǎn)生一定影響。

Gut bacteria can affect autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis as well as developmental disorders like autism.
腸道細(xì)菌會(huì)讓人類患上自身免疫病，比如多發(fā)性硬化癥和自閉癥這種發(fā)育紊亂。

3 人類也有定位能力

According to new research carried out by the University of Massachusetts Medical School, humans may have an internal compass that allows them to navigate across the earth without an external device.
據(jù)馬薩諸塞州醫(yī)學(xué)院的最新研究顯示，人體內(nèi)部可能也有類似指南針系統(tǒng)，能夠讓人類在不依靠外接設(shè)備的情況下也能穿越地球。

The study found that monarch butterflies have an internal sense of direction that allowed them to get from one point to another even in the absence of light by sensing the Earth's magnetic field.
有研究發(fā)現(xiàn)帝王蝶有方向感，可以讓他們?cè)跊](méi)有光的情況下，通過(guò)磁場(chǎng)感應(yīng)的方式，它們能精確的從某處飛到另一個(gè)地方。

Because we share a similar crypotochrome gene with monarch butterflies, it's possible that we have this magnetic sensing ability too.
因?yàn)槲覀兒偷弁鹾腸rypotochrome基因相似，所以我們可能也有這種定位能力。

4 3歲小朋友的腦部比成人更活躍

Three-year-old brains are two-and-a-half times more active than adult brains, says a report by the California Early Childhood mentoring program.
加利福尼亞一個(gè)早教服務(wù)項(xiàng)目得出結(jié)論，三歲孩子的腦部比成人的腦部要活躍2.5倍。

Because children are born with blank brains, each experience is completely new. In the first three years of his or her life, a child builds approximately 1 trillion synapses.
因?yàn)楹⒆拥哪X子里裝的東西不多，任何一件事情對(duì)他來(lái)說(shuō)都是新的。在孩子的頭3年里，他要建立大約1兆神經(jīng)突觸。

New research found that time perception changes depending on how close or far an event is from us.
一項(xiàng)新研究發(fā)現(xiàn)我們對(duì)時(shí)間快慢的感覺(jué)是根據(jù)這件事情離我們的遠(yuǎn)近來(lái)判斷的。
