【No. 0488】Photic Sneeze Reflex
Apr 19, 2016 21:02
Some people will sneeze when they see a bright light like sunlight or a fluorescent light.
I think there are also many people who try to sneeze by watching sunlight when they almost sneezed.
This phenomenon is called "photic sneeze reflex."
Because of light stimuli, some people tend to sneeze when they feel bright.
Approximately one in four people have this symptom, and it's believed that trigeminal nerve is greatly related to this.
Also, statistically, it's thought that the photic sneeze reflex is inherited as a dominant trait.
However, the medical evidence hasn't been clear.

光くしゃみ反射
太陽や蛍光灯など、まぶしい光を見るとくしゃみが出る人がいます。
くしゃみが出そうで出ないときに、太陽を見てスムーズにくしゃみを出す人も多いと思います。
この現象は、「光くしゃみ反射」と呼ばれます。
光刺激が誘因となり、まぶしいと感じた瞬間にくしゃみが出やすくなります。
約4人に1人がこの症状を持っており、三叉神経が大きく関係していると考えられています。
また、統計的に、光くしゃみ反射は優性遺伝であると考えられています。
しかし、医学的根拠は明らかになっていません。

-
The stimulus caused by bright light makes the body more receptive to sneezing.

This is not grammatically incorrect, but it is not well presented as information. Who has the symptom and this trigeminal nerve are two different subjects. Why does it matter that one in four people have this symptom? What is the trigeminal nerve? What does it control? How did they find out that this nerve is connected to the sneeze reflex?
- Also, statistically, it's thought that the photic sneeze reflex is inherited as a dominant trait.

科学的な話題になると、詳細をきちんと書いた方が分かりやすいし、面白いです。僕も科学専攻の人間としてこの話はよく理解しますが、生物学などに詳しくない人たちにとってはとても複雑でこういう話題に興味を持たないようになりがちです。特に、三叉神経のところをもっと詳しく説明した方がいいと思います。

Thank you very much for correcting my post!
Oh, I understand. I will try to explain details of my scientific entries.
By the way,
> Why does it matter that one in four people have this symptom?
I had to separate my sentence.
I wanted to mention just about the statistical ratio.
> What is the trigeminal nerve? What does it control?
Trigeminal nerve is one of cranial nerves.
It has sensory functions and controls movements of eight muscles.
> How did they find out that this nerve is connected to the sneeze reflex?
It has been known that itching of the nose actuate the sneeze reflex nerve center through the trigeminal nerve. Therefore, although it's not clear, they believe that this nerve is connected to sneeze reflex.
I'm sorry, I'm not an expert about this area, so I can only provide a brief description.
