Scientists say the results suggested that the heart is able to influence how the brain responds to a fearful event, depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contraction and relaxation.Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School said, “Our study show for th

46、s are better noticed when the heart is pumping than when it is relaxed. Thus our hearts can also affect what we see and what we dont see and guide whether we see fear.”To further understand this relationship, the scientists also used a brain scanner（扫描仪）to show how the brain influences the way the h
47、eart changes a persons feeling of fear. “We have found an important mechanism by which the heart and brain speak to each other to change our feelings and reduce fear” Dr. Garfinkel said. “We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fear is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we
48、may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety, disorders, and also for those who may be suffering from serious stress disorder.” http:/ What is the finding of the study?A.
