explain

解释: that引导的宾语从句的结构复杂。从句的主语the production of and the release of被缩略成the production and release of ,而且在the production and release of 之间又插入一个起修饰作用的(in brain neurons),使得句子的结构更难以理解。另外,在neurotransmitter serotonin之后出现了一个很长的插入语。这个插入语的与众不同之处在于,一般出现在这个位置的插入语应该是解释紧接在它前面serotonin的,而这个插入语解释的是再往前的neurotransmitter。因此,普通的插入语只是被解释单词的同位语,而这个插入语整个是一个完整的句子。这种情况的出现,是因为neurotransmitter serotonin整个是一个名词词组,而作者只想解释其中的neurotransmitter,如果把句中这么长的插入语放在meurotansmitter后面,就会不可避免地把neurotransmitter和serotonin分得很远,读者根本没法理解。因此,尽管ETS胆大妄为,但也不敢冒天下之大不韪,于是出现了本句这样的少见的结构。
