　　現(xiàn)在，從我開(kāi)始做日常鍛煉至今已有一年半多了，我注意到一件事，它讓我吃驚并吸引了我的注意。我坐在桌前寫(xiě)研究補(bǔ)助申請(qǐng)書(shū)，腦中浮現(xiàn)一個(gè)想法，那是我以前從來(lái)沒(méi)有想過(guò)的。那個(gè)想法就是：「天，今天的研究補(bǔ)助申請(qǐng)寫(xiě)得真順利?！?br />　　And all the scientists yeah, all the scientists always laugh whenI say that, because grantwriting never goes well. It is so hard。 youamp。39。re alwayspulling your hair out, trying to e up with that milliondollarwinning I realized that the grantwriting was going well, because I was able tofocus and maintain my attention for longer than I had before. And my longtermmemory what I was studying in my own lab seemed to be better in me. Andthatamp。39。s when I put it together.
　　所有的科學(xué)家──是啊，當(dāng)我那么說(shuō)時(shí)，科學(xué)家都會(huì)笑出來(lái)，因?yàn)閷?xiě)補(bǔ)助申請(qǐng)從來(lái)就不會(huì)順利。它真的很難搞，你總是要想破頭，試圖提個(gè)能贏得百萬(wàn)美元的想法。但我發(fā)現(xiàn)，補(bǔ)助申請(qǐng)能寫(xiě)得很順利，是因?yàn)槲覍?zhuān)注和維持注意力的時(shí)間，都比以前更長(zhǎng)。且我的長(zhǎng)期記憶──我的實(shí)驗(yàn)室的研究主題──似乎在我身上也變得更好。就在那時(shí)，我把一切都連起來(lái)了。
　　Maybe all that exercise that I had includedand added to my life was changing my brain. Maybe I did an experiment on myselfwithout even knowing it. So as a curious neuroscientist, I went to theliterature to see what I could find about what we knew about the effects ofexercise on the brain. And what I found was an exciting and a growingliterature that was essentially showing everything that I noticed in myself.
　　也許，我加在生活中的那些運(yùn)動(dòng)在改變我的大腦。也許我在自己身上做了實(shí)驗(yàn)而不自知。身為好奇的神經(jīng)科學(xué)家，我去查研究文獻(xiàn)，看看有沒(méi)有什么已知信息與運(yùn)動(dòng)對(duì)大腦的效應(yīng)有關(guān)。我發(fā)現(xiàn)的文獻(xiàn)很讓人興奮，且還在不斷增加中，基本上，文獻(xiàn)完全點(diǎn)出了我在身上注意到的所有改變。
　　Better mood, better energy, better memory, better attention. And the more Ilearned, the more I realized how powerful exercise was. Which eventually led meto the big decision to pletely shift my research focus. And so now, afterseveral years of really focusing on this question, Iamp。39。ve e to the followingconclusion: that exercise is the most transformative thing that you can do foryour brain today for the following three reasons.
　　更好的心情、更高的能量、更好的記憶、更佳的注意力。我學(xué)得越多，我就越能了解運(yùn)動(dòng)有多強(qiáng)大。最終，這導(dǎo)致了我做出重大決定，完全轉(zhuǎn)變我的研究重心。所以，在真正投入這個(gè)問(wèn)題幾年后，我得到了下列的結(jié)論：在現(xiàn)今你能做的所有事情當(dāng)中，運(yùn)動(dòng)最能改變你的大腦，理由是以下三個(gè)。
　　Number one: it has immediate effects onyour brain. A single workout that you do will immediately increase levels ofneurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin and noradrenaline. That is going toincrease your mood right after that workout, exactly what I was feeling. My labshowed, that a single workout can improve your ability to shift and focusattention, and that focus improvement will last for at least two hours. Andfinally, studies have shown that a single workout will improve your reactiontimes which basically means that you are going to be faster at catching thatcup of Starbucks that falls off the counter, which is very, very important.
　　第一：運(yùn)動(dòng)對(duì)你的大腦有立即的效應(yīng)。你做的每一次運(yùn)動(dòng)，都會(huì)立即增加神經(jīng)傳遞質(zhì)的量，如多巴胺、血清素、正腎上腺素。這會(huì)在你運(yùn)動(dòng)之后馬上提升你的心情，那正是我的感受。我的實(shí)驗(yàn)室顯示，單一次運(yùn)動(dòng)就能改善你轉(zhuǎn)移和聚焦的能力，而那專(zhuān)注的改善會(huì)持續(xù)至少兩個(gè)小時(shí)。最后，研究顯示，單一次運(yùn)動(dòng)就會(huì)改善你的反應(yīng)時(shí)間，基本上，那就表示如果一杯星巴克咖啡從柜臺(tái)滑落，你能更快速接住它，這點(diǎn)是非常非常重要的。
　　But these immediate effects are transient,they help you right after. What you have to do is do what I did, that is changeyour exercise reg
