#2021年的看剧笔记# 第〇七四本剧
「There’s a famous quote that says, ‘If the human brain were so simple that we could understand it, we would be so simple that we couldn’t.’」
看到中译名《医院人生Critical Care》就很想翻一下,可是当时没找到中文版。
其实是本正经的脑科学书,只是编剧写的有点戳我笑点。
记得上一次听关于脑科学的内容,有说到当今脑科学研究水平相当于牛顿还没出现的物理界。这部剧的前言里也先定了个基调「In the world of brain sciences, our understanding changes all the time.」
大脑的“混乱”状况不是第一次有人讲,编剧的例子代入感很强了,已经开始抓狂了,而「The neocortex does this with the reptile brain all the time.」
好些状况都适用这一句「And this would be fine if that was all the brain does. But it doesn’t. So it isn’t.」,一腔无奈哈。
睡梦中猛抽一下,编剧列了两种说法,巧了,两种我都曾听过还“啊~原来是这样”…然而编剧说小孩子抽得多,因为神经系统还没发育完全,当然大人也会抽,毕竟「In many ways we never truly get rid of all the glitches and kinks in such complicated systems」…啊,原来是这样。
「Sophisticated results in vulnerability, it seems.」有点王东岳「递弱代偿」的意思嘛。
关于海马体,果不其然有伦敦出租车司机的例子,不过编剧补了一句「These studies were conducted mostly in the days before satnavs and GPS though, so there’s no telling how they’d pan out now.」想到前几天的新闻,伦敦出租车司机不听女乘客的指挥,跟着导航直接开河里去了。
然而,大部分内容感觉都不算太新鲜了,尤其是本剧后半,或许是在这些领域还没有更新鲜的内容出品吧。
