【正文】 ing fullblown SAD. It is caused by the brain not receiving enough daylight which is needed to produce serotonin, a hormone (荷爾蒙 ) that controls moods. Symptoms range from being mildly sleepy to depression and insomnia (失眠癥 ), but a cure might be in sight. Two clinical experiments, run by Valkee who makes a device that can shine light into your ear and the University of Oulu in Finland, have found that carefully targeted light can help prevent the condition. Juuso Nissila, Valkee’s cofounder and chief scientists said, ―We presented earlier that the human brain is sensitive to light. These two clinical experiments show that channeling bright light via the ear canal into the brain’s photosensitive areas effectively prevents and treats seasonal affective disorder.‖ The University of Oulu reported that in their first study, 92 percent of the patients with seasonal affective disorder achieved full remission (緩解 ) after a month of daily 8 to 12 minutes’ doses (劑量 ) of light from Valkee. Timo Takala, chief physician at the Oulu Deaconess Institute said, ―These clinical experiments show that bright light channeled into the brain via the ear canal is an important future method of treating seasonal affective disorder.‖ Valkee launched its bright light headset in August 2021. It is classed as a medical device under EU regulations. The device channels bright light direct to the brain via the ear canal to prevent and cure depression, mood swings and even circadian rhythm (晝夜節(jié)律 ) disorders such as jet lag (時差感 ). It costs￡ 185 and looks like an iPod—only the earphones send out light rather than sound. Anyone wanting to copy the effects with a flashlight is likely to be disappointed, it emits the wrong kind of light that is apparently too yellow. 62.

He sat in the living room and read. With these characteristics, however, he would not remain as inconspicuous（ 不顯眼 ） as we wished him to: that year, the whole school talked about him defending Tom Robinson, none of which was plimentary. After my fight with Cecil Jacobs when I mitted myself to a policy of chicken, word got around that Scout Finch wouldn’t fight any more, her daddy wouldn’t let her. This was not entirely correct: I wouldn’t fight publicly for Atticus, but the family was private ground. I would fight anyone from a third cousin upwards tooth and nail. Francis Hancock, for example, knew that. When he gave us our airguns Atticus wouldn’t teach us to shoot. Uncle Jack instructed us therefor
