Is it a disease if you can’t tell the directions?

I examine myself three times a day.

"Where am I?"

"How should I go?"

"Going north, does that mean going 'up'?"

For those who cannot tell east from west,

Go east or go south,

All of them are after the navigation and compass are put into use.

There are also questions that cannot be answered.

In their eyes,

The road during the day is completely different from the road at night.

Walking forward and walking backward are completely different.

The first walk and the Nth walk,

There is only indistinguishability and even more indistinguishability.

Two differences.

East Gate and West Gate,

Only by remembering which door is the Malatang,

Which door is the barbecue stall?

To be able to distinguish...

I have navigation, but I can't find the way...

For those who can distinguish between east, west, south and north,

The structure of the house, the angle of the sun, the sign at the intersection,

They are the best helpers in finding the way.

But for those who don't know the way,

A taxi driver said,

"Are you in the east or the west?"

It was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Is it a disease if you can’t tell the directions?

That’s really not the case!

Physiologically speaking,

Can't tell east, west, north, and south.

It's just that their "spatial perception" is disordered.

When we distinguish east, south, west and north,

The brain starts working like crazy.

"Place cells" "Grid cells"

「Directional cells」「Boundary cells」「Speed ​​cells

These five cells

It will transform the actual spatial information into a mental image.

transmitted to the brain,

The brain then gives instructions to the whole body.

But if these cells malfunction,

Or it's a mismatch.

You will not be able to tell east, west, south, or north.

Unable to recognize the road.

People who can't tell east from west, south from east,

The brain structure is not different from other people.

It's just that the cells don't work together.

But it does not affect normal work and life.

The brain is a mysterious and complex organ.

In addition to making people "lost at home",

It will also bring us many "surprises".

The size of your courage does not depend on your guts,

Rather, it depends on the amygdala in the brain.

The amygdala constantly scans your surroundings for danger.

And guide you to enter a state of alert,

Turn you into a "coward" in a second.

It instructs brain stem cells to

Let your face show a look of fear,

Increase your blood pressure and speed up your heart rate;

It will also work with the hippocampus,

Keep your muscles tense.

The mind is focused on dangerous things,

Once the signal spreads throughout the body,

Fear has taken shape.

besides,

Face blindness,

This is due to the fusiform gyrus in the brain.

Caused by abnormal information processing;

left handed,

It is controlled by the right hemisphere of the brain.

Prevailing the upper hand leads to;

The voice in your brain when you think,

The brain's Broca area is activated.

Scientists call this sound "inner speech."

It may be the predecessor of the "talking to yourself" you did as a child.

…

Then again, I can't tell east from west, south from north.

Is there any hope?

Except for special reasons such as Alzheimer's disease and head trauma,

After exercising your brain, you can still distinguish them.

Use navigation, maps and other tools more often.

Try to understand the relationship between the sun and the east, west, south, and north.

I believe that one day,

We can also tell the difference between east, west, south and north!

If it really doesn't work,

Find a friend who can tell the difference between east, west, south and north.

Maybe I can save it again.

Lost myself...
