阿尔茨海默病里的 β-淀粉样蛋白斑块是怎么回事？
What are the beta-amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease?
β-淀粉样蛋白由淀粉样前体蛋白异常切割产生，过度聚集后在脑中形成斑块，并引发炎症和 tau 蛋白缠结，逐步损害突触与记忆。Hardy 与 Selkoe 的『淀粉样级联假说』是主流解释框架，不过清除斑块的多数药物试验仍受挫。
Beta-amyloid derives from abnormal cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein and aggregates into plaques that provoke inflammation and tau tangles, progressively harming synapses and memory. Hardy and Selkoe's 'amyloid cascade' is the leading framework, though most plaque-clearing trials have struggled.

血脑屏障是怎样保护大脑又让药物难以进入的？
How does the blood-brain barrier protect the brain yet keep drugs out?
脑毛细血管内皮细胞之间有紧密连接，并由星形胶质细胞足突包绕，几乎只允许脂溶性小分子、氧气和特定的转运蛋白底物通过。这种严密筛选挡住了大多数毒素和药物，是神经系统疾病给药的主要障碍。
Brain capillary endothelial cells are sealed by tight junctions and wrapped by astrocyte end-feet, letting through only small lipophilic molecules, oxygen, and specific transporter substrates. This tight filter blocks most toxins and drugs, making CNS delivery a major hurdle.

全身麻醉让人失去意识，目前的科学解释是什么？
What is the current scientific explanation for how general anesthesia causes unconsciousness?
麻醉药多作用于 GABA_A 等受体增强抑制性信号，或阻断 NMDA 等兴奋性受体，从而改变神经网络的大规模同步活动，使皮层与丘脑间的信息整合被打断。具体机制仍未完全破解，但脑功能网络层面的研究已能部分解释。
Anesthetics mostly enhance inhibition via receptors like GABA_A or block excitation via NMDA, altering large-scale neural synchrony and disrupting thalamocortical information integration. The precise mechanism is still unresolved, but network-level studies partly explain it.

安慰剂效应是真的生理反应，还是纯粹心理作用？
Is the placebo effect a real physiological response or just psychology?
安慰剂可在疼痛、帕金森等情境中引发真实的神经内分泌变化，例如内源性阿片释放，并非单纯主观想象。研究还显示它受期望、条件反射和医患互动共同塑造。
Placebos can trigger genuine neuroendocrine changes—such as endogenous opioid release—in pain and Parkinson's settings, not mere imagination. Research shows they are shaped by expectation, conditioning, and the clinician-patient interaction.

神经元之间是怎样通过突触传递信号的？
How do neurons pass signals across a synapse?
电信号传到轴突末梢触发钙离子内流，促使突触小泡释放神经递质到突触间隙，递质再与下一个神经元的受体结合，引发新的电位变化。这条化学接力让信息可在不同神经元间灵活传递并被调制。
The electrical impulse reaching the axon terminal triggers calcium influx, causing synaptic vesicles to release neurotransmitters into the cleft; these bind receptors on the next neuron and trigger a new potential. This chemical relay lets signals pass flexibly between cells and be modulated.

睡眠对大脑到底有什么不可替代的作用？
What irreplaceable role does sleep play for the brain?
睡眠期间大脑会清除代谢废物（如 β-淀粉样蛋白），并巩固白天形成的记忆、重整神经连接。Tononi 与 Cirelli 的『突触稳态假说』认为慢波睡眠会按比例削弱白天的突触增强，避免过载。
During sleep the brain clears metabolic waste such as beta-amyloid and consolidates the day's memories while reshaping connections. Tononi and Cirelli's synaptic-homeostasis hypothesis holds that slow-wave sleep proportionally downscales daytime synaptic strengthening to avoid overload.

多巴胺在大脑里究竟负责什么？
What does dopamine actually do in the brain?
多巴胺既参与运动控制（黑质—纹状体通路），也是奖赏与动机回路的核心递质，让人对有益刺激产生『想要』的驱动力。Carlsson 发现多巴胺缺失导致帕金森症状，并因此获 2000 年诺贝尔奖。
Dopamine both controls movement (the nigrostriatal pathway) and lies at the core of reward and motivation, driving the 'wanting' of beneficial stimuli. Carlsson showed its loss causes Parkinsonian symptoms, earning the 2000 Nobel Prize.

左旋多巴为什么能改善帕金森病的症状？
Why does levodopa improve Parkinson's disease symptoms?
帕金森病源于中脑黑质多巴胺能神经元退化，导致运动迟缓、震颤和僵硬。左旋多巴能穿过血脑屏障，在脑内转化为多巴胺以补足缺失，因此长期作为核心对症药物。
Parkinson's arises from loss of midbrain dopamine neurons, causing slowness, tremor, and rigidity. Levodopa crosses the blood-brain barrier and is converted to dopamine in the brain, replacing what is missing, so it remains the core symptomatic drug.
