To sleep. Perchance (古英文,或许) to file? Findings published online this week by the Proceedings (文献汇编) of the National Academy of Sciences further support the theory that the brain organizes and stores memories formed during the day while the rest of the body is catching zzz’s.
Gyorgy Buzsake of Rutgers University and his colleagues analyzed the brain waves of sleeping rats and mice. Specifically, they examined the electrical activity emanating (发源) from the somatosensory neocortex (大脑体觉新皮层) (an area that processes sensory information) and the hippocampus (海马状突起), which is a center for learning and memory. The scientists found that oscillations (震荡) in brain waves from the two regions appear to be intertwined. So-called sleep spindles (纺锤体) (bursts of activity from the neocortex) were followed tens of milliseconds (毫秒) later by beats in the hippocampus known as ripples (波动). The team posits that this interplay between the two brain regions is a key step in memory consolidation.
A second study, also published online this week by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, links age-associated memory decline to high glucose (葡萄糖) levels.
Previous research had shown that individuals with diabetes (糖尿病) suffer from increased memory problems. In the new work, Antonio Convit of New York University School of Medicine and his collaborators studied 30 people whose average age was 69 to investigate whether sugar levels, which tend to increase with age, affect memory in healthy people as well. The scientists administered recall tests, brain scans and glucose tolerance (血糖浓度容许量) tests, which measure how quickly sugar is absorbed from the blood by the body’s tissues. Subjects with the poorest memory recollection, the team discovered, also displayed the poorest glucose tolerance. In addition, their brain scans showed more hippocampus shrinkage than those of subjects better able to absorb blood sugar.
"Our study suggests that this impairment (损害) may contribute to the memory deficits that occur as people age. " Convit says. "And it raises the intriguing possibility that improving glucose tolerance could reverse some age-associated problems in cognition." Exercise and weight control can help keep glucose levels in check, so there may be one more reason to go to the gym.
What is the relation of memory to glucose tolerance, as is indicated by a research mentioned in Paragraph 4?
选项
A、People with poor memory have high glucose tolerance.
B、People with good memory have low glucose tolerance.
C、Memory level has nothing to do with glucose tolerance.
D、The poorer the memory, the poorer glucose tolerance.
答案
D
解析
可定位在第4段倒数第2句:Subjects with the poorest memory recollection,the teamdiscovered,also displayed the poorest glucose tolerance(这组科学家发现,记忆力最差的人同样表现出最低的血糖浓度容许度),而题干问“记忆力与血糖容许度之间的关系”,故D为正确选项。
