    ?

    Seeing that everyone's emotions are almost digested, Yaoliwas started again, "As I said just now, the study of swear words is also very important to neuroscience. This incident originated from an accident.

    In 1848, the United States was overhauling its railroads.  Among them was a railroad pioneer named Phineas Gage.  He had a serious accident during an explosion.

    An iron rod hit the head, penetrated from the forehead to the back of the head, and pierced a big hole.  According to the memories of those present at the time, after the injury, Gage vomited and his brain was pressured, and he lost about half a bowl of tea brain tissue.

    But, miraculously, Gage didn't die.  In a newspaper in Vermont, where the incident took place, there was an article dedicated to this incident, titled "Surviving a Catastrophe, Only Half A Bowl Away".

    However, although his life was saved, the sequelae were very serious.  Gage had become dull and lost most of his ability to think.  However, only the ability to swear has not decreased but increased.  Gage can't stop swearing.

    Of course, today's research on this phenomenon has made it very clear that it is a typical case of Tourette's disease.  The foul language of foul language.

    However, back then, this discovery opened up a new era of brain science.  Because back then, people's views on the brain were generally divided into two schools.

    The first pie is called Panna Cotta Pie.  They believe that all areas of the brain have the same function.  Like a panna cotta, every part is the same.

    The second pie is called cake pie.  They believe that the brain is like a cake, with each layer being different.

    Although neither faction seems right now, it's clear that Panna Cotta goes further.  And one of the effects of this accident is to make Panna Pie completely withdraw from the stage of history.

    Because obviously, after part of Gage's brain area was damaged, correspondingly, only part of his function was damaged.  The ability to swear has not diminished, it's just that the brakes have failed and cannot be controlled.

    In other words, in this accident, swear words are like a signpost, allowing brain science research to avoid a fork in the intersection between panna cotta and cake pie.  "

    Well, this is really a major discovery.

    Lanzhi, who didn't know when she came back by herself, was fascinated by what she heard.  Quietly waiting for Yao Livas' next words.

    ¡ª¡ª"In addition to this major discovery, in the following 100 years, brain scientists have observed all kinds of patients.

    For example, some people's left brain is damaged, and the situation will become similar to that of Gage, with poor logical ability and can't help swearing.

    For another example, some people's logical ability is almost unaffected after the right brain is damaged, but the whole person will become very serious and hardly swear.  These research processes are very complicated, so we will not go into details.  Haha, mainly because I can't understand it myself.

    In short, through the observation of patients, neurologists have drawn several conclusions.  First, swear words should be one of the earliest languages ??mastered by human beings.

    Because the language-related areas of the brain are located in the high-level thinking areas of the brain, they evolved relatively late.

    And damage to this area will only affect logical expression, not swearing.  This shows to a certain extent that swearing is not an advanced language ability that evolved later, it should have appeared earlier.

    Second, swearing is a very complex social thought movement.  You see, when swearing, first of all, your own emotions will be in a certain state.

    Second, you have to use your empathy ability.  Feel the emotions of the people around you, and then decide, what kind of dirty words to say.

    For example, what swear words can hurt the other party?  What swear words can increase intimacy without making the other person disgusted?

    The whole process behind this is very complicated.  It is necessary to accurately perceive the emotional schema of the other party, and then know what to say.

    This requires mobilizing emotions, empathy, and language skills at the same time.  This is why it is said that swearing is a complex symphony played by the brain.  "

    Lanzhi took a sneak peek at Meng Xianxiang, unexpectedly he happened to look over too.  The moment their eyes met in the air, Lanzhi was ready to forgive him.

    Yao Livas continued, "Let me also summarize, what is swearing? From a linguistic perspective, the essence of swearing is to break taboos. From a neuroscience perspective, swearing is a complex social thinking movement.  It's like a symphony of the brain."

    Meng Xianxiang couldn't bear it anymore, it's a critical moment!  "But, it's not just instinct, it's because you're venting your emotions, which can relieve pain; for example, psychological pain!"

    Yaolivas laughed, "Hahaha.??Don't worry, everyone understands what you just said.

    Closer to home, the matter of swearing is deeper than we imagined.  It is a language phenomenon worthy of attention.

    At the first glance of this question, I guess you have already thought of many answers.  Just like what this buddy said just now, swearing can vent your emotions and hurt other people's feelings, but sometimes it can also ease the atmosphere, and so on.

    Let's not talk about these obvious answers.  Here, we only focus on increments.  Let's talk about the role of swear words that few people have mentioned before.

    The first function is to increase the efficiency of communication.  You might say, no.  The swear words are just to express emotion and do not contain any amount of information.  It only disrupts communication, how can it increase efficiency?

    If you think so, I would like to ask you to imagine a scene.  Let's say, you're doing something, something very urgent.  At this time, there is someone next to you, who is very ignorant, and wants to pull you to tell dirty jokes.

    Excuse me, why do you refuse?  You can say, I don't want to hear it.  But do you think it will work?  You can also say, I'm very angry, you don't bother me anymore.

    But the other party may not really feel that you are angry.  In fact, thousands of words are not as effective as one word, that is, get out.  "

    This guy Yaolivas really has a thorough research on swear words!  What he said was really easy to understand.

    A thousand words are not as good as a roll!  Just like sometimes, Qing Yunfei made himself angry, and he really didn't want to talk to him; a scroll word not only vented his emotions, but also didn't make the atmosphere embarrassing.

    After all, sometimes, it is useless to explain more to him.  It's better to just open your mouth and scold him.  However, it is not the kind of swearing that leads to the escalation of conflicts; it is a roll full of meaning, so that he can understand the meaning of it.

    There are so many uses for swearing, and I can only dislike it before myself.

    But invisibly, in fact, it has always existed in our lives.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
