我觉得语言好美啊 In Grundfest's laboratory I soon appreciated that to understand how the brain functions, I would have to learn how to listen to neurons, to interpret the electrical signals that underlie all mental life. Electrical signaling represents the language of mind, the means whereby nerve cells, the building blocks of the brain, communicate with one another over great distances. Listen...
“Denise combined intelligence and curiosity with a wonderful capability for beautifying everyday life. She was a fine cook, had excellent taste in clothing—some of which she made herself—and liked to surround herself with vases, lamps, and art that enlivened the space in which she lived. Much as Anna influenced my thinking about psychoanalysis, Denise influenced my thinking about both empiri...
Sydney Brenner写道: What you need to do is find which is the best system to experimentally solve the problem, and as long as it [the problem] is general enough you will find the solution there. The choice of an experimental object remains one of the most important things to do in biology and is, I think, one of the great ways to do innovative work... The diversity in the living world is so lar...
Whenever I penetrated a cell, I, too, could hear the crack of an action potential. I am not fond of the sound of gunshots, but I found the bang! bang! bang! of action potentials intoxicating. The idea that I had successfully impaled an axon and was actually listening in on the brain of the crayfish as it conveyed messages marvelously intimate. I was becoming a true psychoanalyst: I was listenin...
Eccles和Popper的交往看得我很燃,Eccles写道: I learned from Popper what for me is the essence of scientific investigation -- how to be speculative and imaginative in the creation of hypotheses, and then to challenge them with the utmost rigor, both by utilizing all existing knowledge and by mounting the most searching experimental attacks. In fact I learned from him even to rejoice in the refut...
For biologists working on the brain, mind loses none of its power or beauty when experimental methods are applied to human behavior. Like wise, biologists do not fear that mind will be trivialized by a reductionist analysis, which delineates the component parts and activities of the brain. On the contrary, most scientists believe that biological analysis is likely to increase our respect for th...
Remembering the past is a form of mental time travel; it frees us from the constraints of time and space and allows us to move freely along completely different dimensions.
The spectacle of Vienna under the Nazis also presented me for the first time with the darker, sadistic side of human behavior. How is one to understand the sudden, vicious brutality of so many people? How could a highly educated society so quickly embrace punitive policies and actions rooted in contempt for an entire people? One conclusion, which is troubling to my sensibilities, is that the qu...
The middle-class citizens of Vienna began to see themselves as citizens of the world and they exposed their children to culture early in life. Being reared "in museums, theaters, and concert halls of the new Ringstrasse, the middle-class Viennese acquired culture not as an ornament of life, or a badge of status, but as the air they breathe" (Carl Schorske). Kar Karus, the great satirical social...
One of the criteria bourgeois families in Austria-Hungary used in selecting girls for housework was that they be suitable to relieve the family's adolescent boys of their virginity, in part to entice them away from any possible attraction to homosexuality.
