In one experiment, Blass and colleagues studied two groups of baby mice who were separatedfrom their mothers and left alone for six minutes. Their resulting “isolation distress” was considered to be a kind ofanimal equivalent to our human version of depression. The depressed mice who were given sugar water cried onlyseventy-five times during their isolation—as compared to the more than three hundred cries that came from the mice leftalone with no sweet treat to alleviate their emotional pain. Apparently, the young mice were literally “medicating” theirdepression with sugar.Why did sugar have this remarkable effect? Researchers thought that perhaps the sweet food stimulated the releaseof extra beta-endorphin molecules. Since these molecules help us cope with physical and emotional pain, the sugar had aliterally soothing effect. Researchers confirmed their theory by giving both groups of mice Naltrexone, a drug that blocksbeta-endorphin receptors. If you take Naltrexone, it does not matter how many beta-endorphins you release—you will notget any relief from pain. Sure enough, when the sugar-fed mice were given Naltrexone, they lost all interest in the sweetsubstance, suggesting that their only reason for their sweet tooth had been to stimulate the release of beta-endorphins.Numbed by Naltrexone, both groups of mice cried equally often. The poor baby mice were still depressed—but noweven sugar could not make them feel better.請依上文回答第36 題至第39 題

From there the plague passed into Sweden, Denmark, Prussia, Iceland, and as far as Greenland.Leaving a strange pocket of immunity in Bohemia and Russia unattacked until 1351, it had passed from most of Europeby the mid-1350s. Although the mortality rate was erratic, ranging from one-fifth in some places to nine-tenths or almosttotal elimination in others, the overall estimate of modern demographers has settled—for the area extending from India toIceland—around the same figure expressed in Froissart’s casual words: “A third of the world dies.” His estimate, thecommon one at the time, was not an inspired guess but a borrowing of St. John’s figure for mortality from the plague inRevelation, the favorite guide to human affairs of the Middle Ages.

But studies of brain seem to suggest that this is exactly what we do inour everyday life; our default cognitive system is configured to choose novel things over the old ones and beautiful thingsover plain-looking ones.Bianca Wittmann, a British neuroscientist, scanned the brains of 20 video game players while they played a game inwhich the goal was to accumulate money. In each trial of the game, four pictures were presented to the participants, witheach featuring a different mountain view. The participants were then asked to choose one picture. After the game had goneon for a while, the participants would realize that one of the four pictures, if chosen, would grant the participants a cashpayoff. Wittmann observed that every time the participants selected an image that would lead to a monetary reward, theneurons or brain cells in a region in their brain called “the striatum”—known to process feelings of pleasure andreward—were activated in anticipation of their cash prize. At one point of the game, Wittmann added new pictures ofsimilar mountain views to each trial. Interestingly, instead of choosing the “old” images that would grant them the cashreward, the participants, including the known moneymakers, chose the novel images over the old ones nearly in all cases.Furthermore, the neurons in the striatum were activated as they chose the novel images.According to Wittmann, this means that the participants treated these novel images with the same degree ofexcitement, suggesting that our desire to explore new experiences and things perks up the reward system of our brains. So,what is the implication of this finding for marketers of a given product? Well, marketers may be able to bolster the salesof the product simply by repackaging it. Wittmann also warned marketers that although novelty may temporarily boostthe sales, they would go down once the customers learn that nothing but the packaging has changed.請依上文回答第48 題至第50 題
