该系列的起源来自一个随机的“啊哈!”当我注意到世界各地的研究人员正在发表各种科学文献的模式时,他们正在关联意想不到的生活方式因素(例如积极的社会关系(Kok et al。,2013),叙事表达性写作(Bourassa et al。,2017)),和自我疏远(Grossman等,2016))改善心率变异性(HRV)。
Nota bene:我在一个神经科学家父亲Richard Bergland(1932-2007)的家庭中长大,他也是脑外科医生,也是The Fabric of Mind的作者。我父亲崇拜诺贝尔奖获得者Otto Loewi(1873-1961),他发现了第一个神经递质(乙酰胆碱),它是PNS的主要神经递质。我们现在所说的乙酰胆碱或ACh最初是由Loewi在1921年左右创造的“vagusstoff”(德语为“迷走神经物质”)。
