神经科学家通常对大脑与疾病的关系感兴趣,但通过研究大脑与健康的关系也可以学到很多东西。大脑有过程,有功能的健康机制,通过使一个人的人生观有利于一个人的健康来促进健康。例如,即使在潜在的压力情况下,人们也倾向于保持良好状态,相信事情会像预期的那样顺利发展,这是他们人生观的一个关键方面。相信上帝,感到快乐,彼此相爱,期待事情会变得更好,这些都是有益健康的观点。正如信仰治疗和安慰剂效应等现象所显示的那样,信仰甚至不必是理性的或现实的,才能使它们有益健康。因此,大脑对刺激作出反应并解释它们,主要是在没有人意识到的情况下,以一种可以增强人的幸福感的方式。虽然目前对功能性健康机制的神经通路知之甚少,但对健康发生与脑功能之间关系的进一步研究有望为改善全球健康提供新的策略。
Neuroscientists are typically interested in the brain in relation to disease, but much could also be learned by studying the brain in relation to health. The brain has processes, functional salutogenic mechanisms, that contribute to health by enabling one's outlook on life to benefit one's health. For example, the belief that things will work out as well as can reasonably be expected is a key aspect of the outlook of people who tend to stay well even when in potentially stressful situations. Believing in God, feeling happy, being mutually in love, and expecting things to change for the better are also outlooks that can be salutogenic. Beliefs need not even be rational or realistic in order for them to be salutogenic, as shown by phenomena such as faith healing and the placebo effect. Thus, the brain responds to stimuli and interprets them, mainly without one's awareness, in ways that can enhance one's well-being. Although little is presently known concerning neuropathways of functional salutogenic mechanisms, further research on relations between salutogenesis and brain function can be expected to provide new strategies for improving health worldwide.
