「腦與認知」展覽


简介:
Introduction:
脑是人体神经系统的主要器官,由以千亿计的神经细胞组成,结构十分复杂,具有广泛的调节和整合功能,也是身体各项机能的总指挥,掌管和协调人类在生理和心理方面的发展和运作。我们以往对它的运作机制所知甚少,但随着脑扫描和造影术等科技的进步,科学家已逐步了解人脑各区域在认知过程中所扮演的角色。展览展出一个巨型的脑部模型,并透过展板及多项互动游戏,介绍有关脑的结构与运作的有趣资讯,以及脑部神经传递信息机制在出现问题时所造成的病症如认知障碍症、失语症、读写障碍、专注力不足及过度活跃症等,让我们能多点理解这些病症及患者的需要。

The human brain is a highly complex organ comprising hundred billions of neurons. It is the core of our nervous system that regulates and integrates a wide range of functions, and serves as the centre of all our physiological and psychological developments and their coordination. For a very long time in history, we had only little knowledge about how our brain worked. Thanks to the advancement of science and technology, in particular, brain scanning and imaging technologies, scientists have begun to understand the functions and mechanisms of various brain regions in respect of human cognition. Through a giant brain model, graphic panels and some interactive games, the exhibition introduces interesting aspects about the structure and functions of human brain, and depicts disorders caused by impairment of neural transmission such as cognitive impairment, aphasia, dyslexia, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder. This may enable us to have a better understanding of such disorders and the needs of the patients.
