Source text - English He remembered the letter in his pocket and he drew it forth. The chill morning wind rippled the stained paper.
Son:
I wish you could come back, if only for a little while. I realize that you are making money and a name for yourself, and I know that you probably still think that I was unduly hard on you at times, but believe me, my boy, when I say that I need you.
The day of the small rancher in Pecos Valley is over and the combines are moving in with better stock and more capital. Men, because of their money, think that they can buy a thing for which other men have given their lives.
Translation - Italian Si ricordò della lettera nella sua tasca e la tirò fuori. Il vento gelido del mattino increspò la carta macchiata.
Figlio:
Vorrei che tu tornassi, anche solo per un po’. Ho capito che stai facendo dei soldi e ti stai creando un nome, e so che probabilmente pensi ancora che io sia ingiustamente duro con te a volte, ma credimi, ragazzo mio, quando dico che ho bisogno di te.
La giornata dell’umile fattore di Pecos Valley è finita e i commerci stanno rientrando con merci migliori e un capitale più grande. Gli uomini, per via dei soldi, pensano che possano comprare una cosa per cui altri uomini hanno dato la propria vita.
English to Italian: Neurobiology of addiction: An integrative review General field: Medical Detailed field: Psychology
Source text - English Addiction neuroscience may well be our era’s most dynamic
field of scientific inquiry. The quality as well as quantity of
information that it generates seems almost to exceed the
capacity of our theories to organize and make coherent sense
of it. This article offers a framework that may be helpful in
organizing and integrating the wealth of information that is
the neurobiology of addiction. The cornerstone of this
framework is the addictive process, an underlying biopsychological
process that addictive disorders are hypothesized to
share. The article begins by introducing the hypothesis that
psychoactive substance use disorders, bulimia nervosa (from
here on, bulimia), pathological gambling, and sexual addiction
share an underlying biopsychological process. Research
findings are demonstrated to accord with empirically testable
predictions that were generated from the hypothesis, thereby
confirming it. Definitions are then offered for the key terms,
addiction and addictive process. The addictive process is brought
into focus as an interaction of impairments in three functional
systems: motivation-reward, affect regulation, and behavioral inhibition. The review itself then follows, in which the
literature that addresses the neurobiology of addiction is
selectively organized according to the three functional
systems that constitute the addictive process. The review is
directed toward identifying candidate neurochemical substrates
for the impairments in motivation-reward, affect
regulation, and behavioral inhibition that could contribute
to an addictive process.
Translation - Italian La neuroscienza della dipendenza può essere considerata come il campo più dinamico della ricerca scientifica. La qualità, così come la quantità delle informazioni che essa produce sembra quasi eccedere la capacità delle nostre teorie di organizzare e rendere coerente il suo senso. Questo articolo offre un frammento che può essere di aiuto nell’organizzare e nell’integrare la ricchezza dell’informazione della dipendenza neurobiologica. Il punto principale di questo articolo è il processo di dipendenza, un processo bio-psicologico fondamentale che i vari disordini di dipendenza sembrano condividere. L’articolo inizia con l’introdurre l’ipotesi che i disordini nell’uso di sostanze psicoattive, la bulimia nervosa (da qui in poi, bulimia), il gioco d’azzardo patologico e la dipendenza sessuale condividono un processo biologico fondamentale di base. I risultati delle ricerche hanno dimostrato in accordo a dei pronostici empiricamente testabili che fossero generati dall’ipotesi poi confermata. Le definizioni sono state poi offerte dai termini chiave dei processi di dipendenza e assuefazione. Il processo di dipendenza si concentra principalmente tra l’interazione del deterioramento di tre sistemi funzionali: motivazione-ricompensa, regolazione affettiva ed inibizione comportamentale. Nell’articolo che segue, troveremo la letteratura scientifica che s’indirizza alla neurobiologia della dipendenza e che essa stessa è organizzata selettivamente in accordo ai tre sistemi funzionali che costituiscono il processo di dipendenza. L’articolo è diretto a identificare i candidati dei sub-strati neuro-chimici nel deterioramento della motivazione-ricompensa, della regolazione affettiva e della inibizione comportamentale che possono contribuire al processo di dipendenza.
