基于大脑机制的亲子教养（翻译十五）

The amygdala has receptors for oxytocin and when these receptors are “occupied,” this has a quieting effect on the amygdala (Veenama & Neuman, 2008, Domes, et al., 2007).

杏仁核有催产素受体。当这些受体被“占据”时，这对杏仁核产生镇静的作用

In this way, oxytocin helps to inhibit the defensive, avoidant reaction system, enabling the social engagement approach system to stay on.

通过这种方式，催产素有助于抑制防御，回避的反应系统，促进参与社会的趋近系统。

In short, the release of oxytocin is an important automatic, bottom-up, process for helping a parent stay connected to a child rather than shifting into a self-defensive state that creates an emotional barrier between parent and child.

简而言之，催产素的释放是一种重要的、自动的、自下而上的，它可以帮助父母与孩子保持联系，而不是变成一个自我防御的状态，造成亲子间情感障碍。

The amygdala is online and basically ready to work in the newborn infant’s brain.
