摘要
从情绪加工神经机制角度对老年心理问题进行研究,在情绪加工过程中,老年人边缘系统的激活强度较年轻人有显著下降趋势,边缘系统的损伤会损害个体对情绪的辨别能力;情绪加工老化效应还与额叶功能衰退有关。据此提出在老年人心理关爱方面要通过参加集体活动,增加娱乐体育活动,定期开展健康教育等措施减少老年人的孤独感、消极情绪。
Mental health problems of the elderly are studied here according to the neural mechanism of emotion processing, holding that in the emotion processing, the elders＇activation of brain＇s limbic system declines notably compared with young people, and the damage of the limbic system can bring harm to the person＇s ability to distinguish a certain emotion; aging effect on the emotion processing is also related to a decline in frontal lobe volume. The paper hence provides a scientific basis and support for elderly mental care, that is, old people are to lessen their loneliness and passive emotion by participating group activities, increasing recreational sports and carrying out regular health education.
