Neuroscience of Love



What is love? Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me no more. While that song may not have been written with the purpose of describing love and the brain, it appears that Haddaway wasn't far off. Love is addictive, love is obsessive, love is prone to poor decision-making, and love seems to come down to a particular mix of chemicals in your brain. While it seems odd to pull love out of the heart and put it in the brain, recent research from neuroscience is indicating an integral role of the brain in different types of love. Today I speak with Allie Gibbons about how the brain changes as you fall both into and out of love.
