Helen Fisher studia il cervello innamorato

Romantic love lights up the same deep brain circuits as powerful drugs, driving obsession, craving, and even pain when rejected. MRI scans reveal that people in love, and even those still devoted after 25 years, show intense activity in the brain’s reward and attachment centers. Nearly everyone is affected—95 percent of people have both loved deeply and been rejected—showing that the drive for love is universal. Our biology shapes who we desire, as much as our upbringing or culture.
