基于大脑机制的亲子教养（翻译二十七）

The upper stream develops more slowly and works more slowly, creating a scenario in which the lower brain circuit can dominate the upper much more easily than the upper or top-down system can modulate the lower.

上层的”流“发展得更慢，运作也更慢，这样就创造了一个场景：较上层或自顶向下的系统可以更容易地控制较低的大脑回路。

Even as adults, then, we can still, at times, be at the mercy of our bottom-up brain–body system, temporarily losing the moderating functioning of our top-down system.

即使是成年人，我们有时也会受到自下而上的大脑系统的支配，暂时失去我们自上而下系统的调节功能。

Figure 1.5 shows the two streams connecting in the prefrontal cortex.

图1.5显示了连接在前额叶皮层的两股“流”。

As you can see, the lower stream is the one that is directly connected to your heart and to your smart vagal system.

正如你所看到的，下层的“流”是直接连接心脏和“聪明的”迷走系统。

The prefrontal cortex is the integration zone for the lower and upper streams, making it possible for you to be aware of your feelings and, at the same time, to think about what is happening in your relationship with your child, to “feel and deal.”

额叶前部皮层是下游和上游的整合区，使注意到个人感受有了很能，同时，也使家长思考孩子的关系中发生了什么，即是:“感觉与处理”。
