基于大脑机制的亲子教养（翻译三十五）

Oxytocin acts much like an antianxiety medicine in your brain, helping to keep your amygdala-driven alarm system calm while activating your brain’s approach system, the smart vagal system that Porges describes as the neural basis for loving relationships.

催产素在你的大脑中就像一种抗焦虑药物，在杏仁核驱动的警报系统在激活大脑的接近系统时保持冷静，而这一系统被Porges描述为爱情关系的神经基础。

Vasopressin is more associated with persistent behavior and with aggressive “defense of the homeland,” which may be why it is more of a “player” in the neurobiology of the father than the mother.

加压素更多的是与持续的行为和积极的“保卫家园”有关，这可能是为什么它更像一个“运动员”在神经生物学的父亲而不是母亲。

Vasopressin in the father’s brain probably helps to promote a fatherly preoccupation with the safety and well-being of his family at the same time that oxytocin helps the dad feel safe and comfortable when interacting closely with his kids (Bales & Carter, 2003).

在父亲的大脑中，加压素可能有助于促进父亲对家庭安全和幸福的关注，同时催产素帮助父亲在与孩子亲密接触时感到安全和舒适。
