摘要

人类的积极情绪大多是因得到奖励或达成目标而产生的,而爱却是在关心他者的过程中体验到的。“爱”这一奇妙的情绪是如何产生的?在人类进化史上有怎样的意义?在当今社会又是如何与我们的生命意义感相关联的?文章基于大脑进化的视角,论述了“三位一体”的大脑是如何运营情感的:恐惧作为古老的基本情绪,起源于爬行动物脑,并伴随着大脑的进化而催生了爱;大脑边缘系统为爱提供了神经基础,使得个体能够感受他者的内在状态并回应,产生边缘系统的共振效应;新皮质则是从抽象的角度进一步诠释爱。这一运营方式及爱在其中的作用,在一定程度上可以解释当前困扰大学生群体的“空心病”。“空心病”的核心是意义感缺失。新皮质会对意义进行解释,而当边缘系统缺乏爱的体验,新皮质的解释就可能会失灵,从而带来空洞的体验。从爬行动物脑、边缘系统和新皮质在爱中各自扮演的角色来阐述三者之间的关系,为情感困扰的产生提供新的解释以及相应的干预思路,也给未来研究提供借鉴。

Abstract

Most positive emotions of mankind arise from achievement, award or accomplishing certain goals, while love is experienced when caring for others. How is love generated? What is the meaning of love in the evolution history? How is love related to the meaning in life in modern society? Based on the evolution theory of the brain, this article sets forth the emotion operation of the trinity brain: fear, being a basic primitive emotion, originated from reptile brains, and the emergence of love might have been promoted in the evolution of the brain. The brain's limbic system, as the neural basis for love, allows individuals to feel the inner state of others and subsequently to respond, generating limbic resonance. A further interpretation of love is made abstractly in neocortex. This operating mode and the role of love in it could partly shed light on the “hollow syndrome” that has been bothering college students. The core of “hollow syndrome” is lack of meaning, while the neocortex interprets the meaning. When the limbic system lacks the experience of love, the process of interpretation may not work, thus leading to an empty sense. The relationship of reptile brains, the limbic system and neocortexes is expounded from their roles played in love, thus providing new explanations for affective disorder, new insights of interventions, and references for future research.
