它显然是通过抑制神经递质的释放来做到这一点的。神经递质是一种将神经冲动从一个神经元传递到另一个神经元的化学物质。

It apparently does this by inhibiting the release of neurotransmitters, chemicals that carry nerve impulses from one neuron to the next.

我们即将看到神经美食学的积极应用，即通过操控食物的味道来抑制我们的食欲。

On the horizon we have the positive application of neurogastronomy; manipulating flavor to curb our appetites.

腺苷通常会抑制大脑许多区域的神经元活动。

Adenosine normally depresses neuron firing in many areas of the brain.

These--Again, the chemicals could excite the other neuron bring up the chances it will fire, or inhibit the other neuron .

再强调一遍,这些化学物质可使另一个神经元变得兴奋,提高该神经元产生神经冲动的可能性,也可抑制另一个神经的兴奋性

Now, these signals can be either excitatory, which is that they raise the likelihood the neuron will fire, or inhibitory in that they lower the likelihood that the neuron will fire.

这些刺激信号可能是兴奋性的,会增加神经元产生神经冲动可能性,也可能是抑制性的,会降低神经元产生神经冲动的可能性
