Helen Fisher studies the brain in love

为什么我们对爱情设那么地渴望，甚至会为它而死？为了探明我们对于爱情最本质的需求，海伦·费舍尔和她的研究团队对恋爱中的和失恋的人们进行了MRI测试。

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.
