In a recent study, professional male dancers trained in either ballet or capoeira, a Brazilian martial art, were asked
to watch videos of both dance styles. Their brains were scanned during the process and two areas 41 movement
were focused – the pre-motor cortex and the visual-motor integration cortex. Both of the areas showed more activity
when a skilled dancer saw movements he had been trained to perform, compared with watching movements he hadn’ t
been trained to perform. The study also scanned the brains of those who were not dancers. It was found that there was no
difference in their brain activity whether they watched ballet or capoeira. 42 , their brains did not discriminate.
The result shows that by lying still and simply watching others move, you can activate movement areas of the
brain 43 you were moving yourself! These areas contain mirror neurons, which are believed to be vitally
important to human behaviour – to interpret other people’s actions and intentions. They have probably been
fundamental to our 44 , allowing us to imitate our parents and quickly transfer skills and culture to the next
generation. Perhaps greater knowledge of this mirror system could help injured athletes and dancers. They can continue
to train without moving a muscle – by simply watching someone else do the movements 45 their bodily injury
recovers. There is also an appealing though completely untested idea that maybe disorders such as autism have
something to do with disruption of these mirror neuron systems.

Marc Potenza, a psychiatrist at Yale and the director of the school’s Program for Research on Impulsivity and
Impulse Control Disorders, has been treating addiction for more than two decades. Early in his career, he, like most others
studying addiction at the time, focused on substance-abuse problems— cocaine and heroin addicts, alcoholics, and the
like. Soon, however, he noticed patients with other problems that were more difficult to classify. There were, for example,
the sufferers of trichotillomania, the inescapable urge to pull your hair until it falls out. Others had been committed for
problem gambling:they couldn’t stop no matter how much debt they had accumulated. It was to this second class of
behaviors—at the time, they were not called addictions—that he turned his attention. Were they, he wondered,
fundamentally the same?
In recent years, however, Potenza has been increasingly treating a new kind of problem:people who come to him
because they can’t get off the Internet. In some ways, it seems exactly like the behavioral addictions that he has been
treating for years, with much of the same consequences. There’s something different, and more complicated, about
Internet addiction, though. Unlike gambling or even trichotillomania, it’s more difficult to pin down a quantifiable,
negative effect of Internet use.

The dangers of addiction. The mysteries of addiction.

Substances and behaviors have nothing in common when it comes to addiction.
We can always classify an addiction if we continue to work on our research for a long time.
48 Why had some people been committed for problem gambling?
They liked gambling. They just could not stop.
They were not heavily in debt. They tried to win as much money as possible.
49 Which of the following statements about Internet addiction is true?
Internet addiction can be classified as a mental disorder.
We can finally track down the causes of Internet addiction.
In some ways, it seems exactly like the behavioral addictions.
We may conclude that it is impossible to get rid of Internet addiction.
