主任研究员詹尼弗·库尔博士说，大脑中有许多参与估计时间的区域，同时他们对行为控制和行动准备也起到重要的作用。

In really dangerous situations, which could harm you or even kill you, which Dr Nesse describes as life-threatening situations, it's a useful response to warn you to take action or to prepare for action.

在非常危险的情况下，可能会伤害你甚至杀死你的情况下，内瑟博士将其描述为危及生命的情况下，它是一个有益的反应来提醒你采取行动或准备行动。
