Chapter 118 Neurodegenerative Diseases
"Dr. Chen, I want to ask you a question."
In the ESP laboratory where the Tianji Bureau is not busy, Gu Jun is tempted by Dr. Chen. This morning, Tong Ye went to the assessment team to take over the assessment team, so he was not here. He finally found an opportunity to get Dr. Chen's words.
"What? May I ask." Dr. Chen was still so kind.
"I know that the ESP world has always had research on 'lucid dreams'." Gu Jun asked, and Wu Shiyu was also listening, "I would like to ask if there are any experiments and training related to dreams that can improve our mental power and super perception?"
Dr. Chen pushed his glasses on his nose and replied seriously: "Luke dreams are a big field. But I did not arrange such projects for you this special training, because after mental training, you need real sleep and let the cerebral cortex rest well. Otherwise, it will be harmful. If our research can continue, we will gradually let you try lukewarm dreams."
"Then..." Gu Jun was thinking about what to ask. Every time he thought of that wall poster this month, he always felt a strange and uneasy.
"Listen to the sound of dreams with your heart", this sentence stuck in his throat like a fish bone.
Wu Shiyu looked at him and grinned helplessly. She asked directly: "Dr. Chen, is it possible that he will receive any information from his dream? It is not necessarily transmitted by humans, like signals from the universe?"
Gu Jun glanced at her and said to her silently: You deserve a beating, can you hear it? Can you hear it?
Obviously, Wu Shiyu didn't hear it, and probably pretended not to hear it.
"Shi Yu, Ajun." Dr. Chen sighed with a smile, "I understand that you want to use every means to improve your mental strength and figure out ESP, but the existing medicine has very limited cognition of the human brain, and psychiatry and neurology are all weaknesses. Not to mention dreams and super perception, we cannot even clarify the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease."
Although his current job is being studied, Gu Jun is also a medical student, and he nodded when he heard it.
Alzheimer's disease is commonly known as Alzheimer's disease, a neurological degeneration disease, the most common type of dementia in the elderly. However, since the first case was reported in the early 20th century, the global medical community has been studying this disease for hundreds of years, and countless research has been done by countless large pharmaceutical companies and laboratories.
Its pathogenesis is still not certain, from genetics, parasites, prions, abnormal metabolism... β-amyloid waterfall hypothesis, tau protein theory... low education level, high blood pressure, high blood sugar... I have tried all directions, but the cause cannot be clarified.
Gu Jun felt a little cold when he thought about it carefully, because this was actually a very terrifying thing.
Is Alzheimer's disease contagious? This is still an unknown, and there are also research hypotheses in this area, and there are certain possibilities.
Even if there is, Alzheimer's disease does not have explosive contagiousness, and it is the case for the time being...
Otherwise, for humans on Earth, this may be a cough-up disease.
"So Master Tong and I also crossed the river by feeling the stones." Dr. Chen said again, encouraging them both: "Don't be impatient, haste will not be achieved. With your current mental power, you should be enough to deal with this assessment."
"No, Dr. Chen, you don't understand at all." Wu Shiyu said softly.
Gu Jun shrugged at her signal, "Don't ask for it now." It seems that Dr. Chen doesn't know much either.
That morning, the two did not train, but spent the quiet meditation, and Dr. Chen asked them to regain their energy.
At around 4 pm, the assessment team arrived at the base.
Dr. Chen brought three people in the problem team and a group of experimental personnel to welcome Tong Ye and the other party and his group at the entrance of the medical building.
Gu Jun saw a group of people stalking, and immediately noticed the group of more than 30 people wearing the same uniform.
That was their opponent this time, the "Inspector Team".
According to Dr. Chen’s previous introduction and internal information from the Tianji Bureau, this is an old mobile task force belonging to the headquarters. There are about 30 regular members, all of which are Gao Lingzhi and those proficient in psychology, and are mainly drawn from the Medical Department and the Review Department.
Because the positioning of the inspector team is to provide technical support for psychology, S value verification, psychoanalysis, etc. When there are any large-scale tasks, several mobile task forces need to be dispatched at the same time, hundreds or thousands of colleagues from the Operations Department will join as auxiliary teams.
But this time, in the words of Tongye, these inspectors are here to play.
Gu Jun glanced at them a few times. More than 30 people were men and women, all over 30 years old. They were wearing the unique uniforms of the team, which were very bright and handsome. In order to improve cohesion, some mobile task forces can have exclusive uniforms, but the problem team is not good.
Everyone's eyes were calm and confident. When they saw him coming, they nodded and signaled.
Tongye and several leaders of the assessment team stood and pointed and talked about something, but from the entourage on the outside, Gu Jun saw two old acquaintances.
One is Professor Qin, and the other is Yao Shinian, the commander-in-chief of the Gurong Village emergency team, who met before entering the banyan tree cave.
"Professor Qin, Commander Yao." Gu Jun didn't care about that much and walked up to say hello to the two acquaintances.
"Ajun, after the last mission, I have never had the chance to talk to you." Yao Shinian's head full of white hair and a slightly haggard old face was much older than the Commander Yao in Gu Jun's memory. "You have just completed the mission and sent you here for special training again. Thank you for your hard work."
"Nothing." How dare Gu Jun say thank you in front of these two old men.
He had seen that Professor Qin had also aged a lot, and his eyebrows were a little frowned, without the calmness he had when he bid farewell to him a month ago.
"Professor Qin, is it okay in Dongzhou?" His heart sinks, and he feels a bad feeling.
"Not very good." Professor Qin sighed suddenly, full of fatigue. "Ajun, in the past week, the number of people who committed suicide by jumping off a building in Dongzhou has increased by five times. The hospital's psychiatric department and neurology department are crowded with patients who see a doctor. A new type of neurological degeneration disease has appeared, and there is no effective treatment method, and the pathogenesis cannot be clarified. It seems to be related to a contagious nightmare."
Gu Jun's whole body turned cold and his eyes were slightly wide open. Alzheimer's disease, which had just passed by fear in the morning, emerged in his heart...
A contagious nightmare? What is the pathogenesis mechanism?
