Episode Synopsis

The article provides an overview of Dr. Daniel Amen's book, "《超强大脑》" (Super Brain), which explores how the brain shapes positive qualities and offers strategies for brain improvement. It begins by introducing Dr. Amen as a prominent brain science expert, known for his vast database of brain imaging scans. The discussion then transitions into two main areas: understanding brain function through an analogy of a car, where different brain regions like the deep limbic system (fuel tank for emotions), prefrontal cortex (brakes for self-control), anterior cingulate gyrus (gear shift for cognitive flexibility), temporal lobes (rearview mirrors for social processing), cerebellum (transmission for coordination), and basal ganglia (airbags for stress response) are explained. Finally, the text outlines a daily brain maintenance plan, emphasizing the importance of a healthy diet (quality proteins, complex carbohydrates, healthy fats, antioxidants), regular exercise (especially activities like ping-pong that activate multiple brain areas), and the practice of recalling positive memories to strengthen related neural pathways.
