The cardiocentric hypothesis is the ancient belief that the heart is the primary center of sensation, cognition, and

心臟中心假說是一種古老的觀念，認為心臟是感覺、認知和

The cardiocentric hypothesis was deeply rooted in ancient Egyptian thought, where the heart was believed to house intelligence, memory, and

心臟中心假說深深植根於古埃及思想，他們相信心臟是智慧、記憶和

During mummification, the brain was often discarded while the heart was preserved for judgment in the afterlife, reflecting its perceived survival supremacy.

在木乃伊化過程中，大腦常被丟棄，而心臟則被保存下來，以便在來世接受審判，這反映了它被認為的生存至上。

The idea later entered Greek philosophy, most notably through Aristotle, who argued that the heart was the seat of perception and emotion, while the brain functioned mainly as a cooling organ for the blood.

這個觀念後來進入了希臘哲學，最著名的是亞里斯多德，他認為心臟是知覺和情緒的中心，而大腦主要作為血液的冷卻器官。

Under this framework, bodily movement and sensation were thought to originate from the heart.

在這個架構下，身體運動和感覺被認為源自於心臟。

The cardiocentric model dominated much of antiquity but was gradually challenged and eventually overturned by advances in anatomy, physiology, and

心臟中心模型在古代佔據主導地位，但隨著解剖學、生理學和

neuroscience, particularly during the Hellenistic period and later the Renaissance.

神經科學的進步，尤其是在希臘化時期和後來的文藝復興時期，它逐漸受到挑戰並最終被推翻。

A competing framework Cephalocentrism Brain centered theory held that the brain controls sensation, thought, and voluntary movement.

一個競爭的架構，頭腦中心論，認為大腦控制著感覺、思考和自主運動。

Early cardiocentric ideas appear independently across multiple ancient cultures.

早期的心臟中心觀念獨立出現在多個古代文化中。

Egypt, the heart was widely regarded as the seat of life, emotion, and cognition.

埃及，心臟被廣泛認為是生命、情緒和認知的中心。

Within the Greek tradition, figures such as Pythagoras and later Plato articulated influential philosophical variants of cardiocentrism, helping systematize these ideas in Western thought.

在希臘傳統中，畢達哥拉斯和後來的柏拉圖等人闡述了有影響力的心臟中心哲學變體，有助於在西方思想中系統化這些觀念。

A systematic anatomical A medical account of cephalocentrism appears in the work of Avicenna, a leading figure of the Islamic Golden Age, whose canon of medicine integrated anatomy, clinical observation, and

頭腦中心論的系統解剖學醫學記載出現在伊斯蘭黃金時代的領軍人物阿維森納的作品中，他的醫學大全整合瞭解剖學、臨床觀察和

psychology to locate sensation, cognition, and voluntary movement in the brain and nervous system.

心理學，將感覺、認知和自主運動定位在大腦和神經系統中。

Although the cardiocentric hypothesis was ultimately incorrect, its dominance influenced early anatomical thinking and indirectly contributed to sustained attention on the cardiovascular system, laying groundwork for later discoveries in circulation and cardiac physiology.

儘管心臟中心假說是錯誤的，但它的主導地位影響了早期的解剖學思維，並間接促成了對心血管系統的持續關注，為後來的循環和心臟生理學發現奠定了基礎。
