囧研究:腦袋大會有更多朋友?
人們的大腦大小所決定的。[/cn] [en]"We found that individuals who had more friends did better on mentalising tasks and had more neural volume in the orbital frontal cortex, the part of the forebrain immediately above the eyes," said Prof Robin Dunbar, who led the study.[/en][cn]我們發(fā)現(xiàn)那些朋友更多的人可以更好的完成腦力工作,前額葉皮質部位也更大,就是正好在眼睛上方的部位?!?研究負責人的羅賓·鄧巴教授說。[/cn] [en]"Understanding this link between an individual's brain size and the number of friends they have helps us understand the mechanisms that have led to humans developing bigger brains than other [w]primate[/w] species."[/en][cn]"明白這種大腦體積與朋友數(shù)量之間的關聯(lián),有助我們理解使人類大腦比其他靈長類動物進化得更大的機制。"[/cn] [en]"The frontal lobes of the brain, in particular, have enlarged dramatically in humans over the last half million years."He added: "Of course, the amount of spare time for socialising, [w]geography[/w], personality and gender all influence friendship size, but we also know that at least some of these factors, notably gender, also correlate with mentalising skills."[/en][cn]“腦部的前額葉部分,特別是在過去的50年里有著顯著增大?!?他還補充道:“當然,參與社交活動的閑暇時間、地域、個性和性別都影響朋友數(shù)量,但我們也知道,其中有部分因素, 尤其是性別,與心智化能力相互影響?!盵/cn] [en]"Our study finds there is a link between the ability to read how other people think and social network size."[/en][cn]"我們研究還發(fā)現(xiàn)看懂別人的想法和社會網(wǎng)絡規(guī)模之間也有一定的關系。"[/cn] [en]Tests were conducted on 40 people, with scientists taking anatomical Mr images of their brains to measure the size of their prefrontal cortex, which is used for high-level thinking. They were all volunteer postgraduate students of "broadly similar ages with potentially similar opportunities for social activities".[/en][cn]40名志愿者加研究入了研究過程,科學家借助核磁共振成像技術測量參與者前額葉皮質部位大小,前額葉皮質部位通常用于深層次的思考。研究中的志愿者都是研究生,年齡相仿,參與社交活動的機會相當。[/cn] [en]Participants were asked to make a list of people they had social – rather than professional – contact with over a seven day period. They also took a test to determine how competent they were at 'mentalising', which is the capacity to understand what another person is thinking, a crucial aspect in how people handle the social world.[/en][cn]研究人員要求志愿者列出最近7天內聯(lián)系的人員名單。這種聯(lián)系純屬社會交往,不包括工作層面的交流。 研究人員又測試志愿者的“心智能力”。這是一種理解他人所思所想的能力,在人們社交活動中起著重要作用。[/cn] [en]Dr Joanne Powell, from the University of Liverpool, added: "Perhaps the most important finding of our study is that we have been able to show that the relationship between brain size and social network size is mediated by mentalising skills. What this tells us is that the size of your brain determines your social skills, and it is these that allow you have many friends."[/en][cn]利物浦大學Joanne Powell補充說,“也許研究中最重要的發(fā)現(xiàn)就是我們已經能夠證明大腦的大小與社會網(wǎng)絡規(guī)模之間的關系是由心智能力在起作用。這些也告訴我們你大腦的大小決定了你的社會技能,也就是這些決定了你能夠有多少個朋友。”[/cn]

貓咪囧研究:你家的喵星人在學你的各種習慣!

囧研究:文化人不愿生孩子 未來人類IQ會下降
而對冰島基因庫的貢獻較小。[/cn] [en]"As a species, we are defined by the power of our brains. Education is the training and refining of our mental capacities," said Kari Stefansson, CEO of Icelandic genetics firm deCODE, which ran the study.
