科学未解之谜：十三种反常现象(国外英语资料) Unsolved mysteries of Science: thirteen kinds of abnormal phenomena News from other planets? A piece of metal can produce great energy There is a huge planet on the edge of the solar system It all sounds unlikely, but they are real scientific observations. Theres no way to explain these anomalies, but studying them may rewrite all the current rules. First, the placebo effect - are you a doctor or a placebo? Please dont do the experiment at home yourself. Pain was created in the subjects, and morphine was used to control the pain. Do this several times a day, for several days, until the last day of the experiment, and replace the morphine solution with saline. Guess what happened? Like morphine, physiological saline also effectively suppressed the pain in subjects. This is what is known as the placebo effect: sometimes something ordinary is powerful for some reason. Italy Turin University fabbrizio? Benedetti doing the experiment, adding morphine antagonist naloxone in physiological saline in the last day. What amazing results did you have? The ability of normal saline to suppress pain disappeared. So what happened in the process? Doctors have known for decades that there is a placebo effect, and the results of the study seem to suggest that the placebo effect is, in part, a biochemical response. But beyond that, humans know nothing about the placebo effect. Later, Benedetti also demonstrated that a placebo made with saline can also relieve tremors and muscle stiffness in Parkinsons patients. While injecting the patient with saline, Benedetti and his team measured the activity of neurons in the patients brain. They found that, with saline infusion, the excitability of the nuclei of the lower hypothalamus of the patient decreased, and the number of excitability in neurons was reduced: physiological saline apparently produced an effect. Its not clear what exactly happens in the process, but one thing is very clear: the brain can affect the bioche
