媒体揭示“强奸罪行对受害者脑部影响” 韩国媒体近日报道，根据韩国国内医疗机构研究显示，强奸受害者容易受到脑部机能异常状况的困扰。韩国亚洲大学附属医院的医疗人员，通过对12名强奸受害者的大脑进行系统检查后发现，她们中的大部分人脑供血量呈现出明显的不足或下降趋势。此外，还发现被害者的脑代谢机能部分呈现明显衰退迹象。 针对上述情况，专家指出这与被害人长期处于抑郁状态，以及因此而产生的恐怖心理有很大关系。专家指出，人体承担抑郁、恐怖思维机能的部分位于脑部左侧，该部分反复受到刺激以后，会产生一种胁迫难于遗忘悲痛记忆的强迫心里因素。正是这种心里因素施加给受害人以巨大的压力。 大家好,我是王璇，今天的 The AsiaN新闻，又同您见面了。 当然还是和往常一样，欢迎您点击我们的网站，浏览其他要闻。 我们的网站是 http://cn.theasian.asia/?p=8370 今天就到这里，谢谢您的收看。 news@theasian.asia
