Brain map of love and desire






Переведите текст с английского языка на русский

Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.

Antoine de Saint-Exupé ry

 

From the initial moment of attraction to growing old together, here are 10 psychology studies that all lovers should know.

 

Falling in love takes one-fifth of a second

It takes a fifth of a second for the euphoria-inducing chemicals to start acting on the brain when you are looking at that special someone. Brain imaging studies of love suggest that 12 different areas of the brain are involved. When looking or thinking about a loved one, these areas release a cocktail of neurotransmitters across the brain, including oxytocin, dopamine, vasopressin and adrenaline. The brain gets a similar «hit» from love as it does from a small dose of cocaine.

Brain map of love and desire

The first study to look at the neural difference between love and sexual desire finds remarkable overlaps and distinct differences. The results showed that some strikingly similar brain networks were activated by love and sexual desire. The regions activated were those involved in emotion, motivation and higher level thoughts. This finding suggests that sexual desire is more than just a basic emotion, but involves goal-directed motivation and the recruitment of more advanced thoughts. Love is built on top of these circuits, with one key area of difference being in the striatum. This area of the brain is typically associated with the balance between higher- and lower-level functions.
