Wesometimesthinkhumansareuniquelyvulnerabletoanxiety,butstressseemsto

affecttheimmunedefensesofloweranimalstoo.

有時候我們認(rèn)為唯有人類容易受到焦慮的傷害，但是壓力似乎對免疫力底下的動

物也有影響。

Inoneexperiment,forexample,behavioralimmunologist(免疫學(xué)家)Mark

Laudenslager,attheUniversityofDenver,gavemildelectricshocksto24rats.

在一個試驗中，舉個例子，dd大學(xué)的行為免疫學(xué)家MM,對二十四只老鼠進行

溫和的電刺激。

舉個例子，在一個試驗中dd大學(xué)的行為免疫學(xué)家MM,對二十四只老鼠進行輕

微溫和的電刺激。

whiletheotherhalfcouldnot.

一半的老鼠能夠通過轉(zhuǎn)動他們籠子里的輪子切斷電流，而另外一半?yún)s不能。

Theratsinthetwogroupswerepairedsothateachtimeoneratturnedthewheelit

protectedbothitselfanditshelplesspartnerfromtheshock.

Mm把這兩組老鼠配對，這樣每次只要一只老鼠轉(zhuǎn)動輪子時，就可以使自己和無

能為力伙伴兔受電擊。

Laudenslagerfoundthattheimmuneresponsewasdepressedbelownormalinthe

helplessratsbutnotinthosethatcouldturnofftheelectricity.

LI發(fā)現(xiàn)無能為力的那只老鼠免疫力是低于正常的，但能切斷電源的那只不會出

現(xiàn)免疫力低下。

Whathehasdemonstrated,hebelieves,isthatlackofcontroloveranevent,notthe

experienceitself,iswhatweakenstheimmunesystem.

他認(rèn)為，他所證明是缺乏掌控一些事情的能力，并不是實驗本身，能夠削弱免疫

系統(tǒng)。

Otherresearchersagree.JayWeiss,apsychologistatDukeUniversitySchoolof

sleepdisturbancesorchangesinbrainchemistrytypicalofstressedrats.

已經(jīng)證明，被允許控制不快樂刺激的動物不會出現(xiàn)睡眠障礙，大腦里的化學(xué)物質(zhì)

沒有變化。這正是情緒緊張的表現(xiàn)。

Butiftheanimalsareconfrontedwithsituationstheyhavenocontrolover,theylater

behavepassivelywhenfacedwithexperiencestheycancontrol.

但是，如果動物面對他不能控制的情況，隨后他遇到能夠控制的事件就會很被動。

Suchfindingsreinforcepsychologists,suspicionsthattheexperienceorperceptionof

helplessnessisoneofthemostharmfulfactorsindepression.

這些發(fā)現(xiàn)增強心理學(xué)家猜疑，無能為力的經(jīng)歷或感知是抑郁情緒中最有害的因素

之一。

Oneofthemoststartlingexamplesofhowthemindcanaltertheimmuneresponse

wasdiscoveredbychance.

最令人吃驚的例子之一心情是如何改變免疫應(yīng)答被偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)

conditioned(使形成條件反射)micetoavoidsaccharin(糖精)bysimultaneously

feedingthemthesweetenerandinjectingthemwithadrugthatwhilesuppressing

theirimmunesystemscausedstomachupsets.

在1975年，rr大學(xué)醫(yī)學(xué)院的心理學(xué)家aa,通過喂食甜食物，并給他們身體里注

入抑制免疫系統(tǒng)的藥引起胃不適，使貓拒絕糖精形成條件反射。

Associatingthesaccharinwiththestomachpains,themicequicklylearnedtoavoid

thesweetener.

把糖精和胃痛聯(lián)系起來，貓很快學(xué)會了避開甜品。

Inordertoextinguishthisdislikeforthesweetener,Aderreexposedtheanimalsto

saccharin,thistimewithoutthedrug,andwasastonishedtofindthatthosemicethat

hadreceivedthehighestamountsofsweetenerduringtheirearlierconditioningdied.

為了消除對糖精的厭惡，aa在沒有用藥物的情況下，重新給他喂糖精，驚人地

發(fā)現(xiàn)這些貓在形成條件反射之前吃糖精最多的，有些反而死了。

Hecouldonlyspeculatethathehadsosuccessfullyconditionedtheratsthat

saccharinalonenowservedtoweakentheirimmunesystemsenoughtokillthem.

Aa只能這樣推測，他成功地是老鼠形成條件反射，現(xiàn)在只用能削弱它免疫系統(tǒng)

的糖精就足以使其死亡。
