Brain and life itself

人類的記憶會隨著內容的不同,而被儲存於大腦皮質的各個區域中。物體的形狀是儲存於顳葉聯絡區、物體的所在位置是位於額葉聯絡區、至於身體的運動方式則是於運動聯絡區。而各種記憶會再加以細分,儲存於不同的神經元內。

記憶大致可分為四種,分別是「含意記憶」、「步驟記憶」、「插曲記憶」、「恐懼記憶」。從學問性知識和自我體驗所得來的「含意記憶」,與額葉、海馬、頂葉、顳葉前部等處有關,腳踏車的騎法、樂器演奏,以及條件反射之類的生理和肉體反應之「步驟記憶」,則是與所有的中樞神經系統有關。自身所體驗的「插曲記憶」主要是儲存於海馬中,而「恐懼記憶」則是儲存於扁桃核內。(《人體學習大百科》,P.32)


I have always had a special taste on the brain and memory. For human, it is the source of the universe where intelligence, awareness, memories and emotions reside.

I have lately flipped through some information on the brain. If god would take away some sections of my brain and keep me still alive, I hope it would be the 扁桃核 so that I would lose all the sensations of fear to face life with courage; second one is of course the very hidden part which controls lust and desire, so that I would be totally free from those stupid human attachments. What is it for that I am determined not to have babies of myself, when seeing that living on earth is pain, is suffering.

Life is beautiful, it is beautiful because deep down it is painful. It is its nature and it is where Buddhism sets in to your heart.

大約四個月前開始,眼睛上方眼蓋的位置,久不久就會泛起一片橙紅。最初以為是活在爛公司氣鬱動肝火所致,誰知離開鬼地方後,eye shadow,「自然眼蓋膏」仍然揮之不去。淡紅有時,腫脹有時,起白屑剝落有時,而無時無刻都痕癢難當。 後來,返了國內探望做中醫師的表兄長,他一看我情況,就說...
