Is This Love or Dopamine?: A deeply unofficial study of dating in the digital age

Product Information

Brain scans of people in love have actually shown that the primary “reward” centers of the brain, including the ventral tegmental area and the caudate nucleus, fire like crazy when people are shown a photo of someone they are intensely attracted to, compared to when they are shown someone they feel neutral towards (like an old high school acquaintance). A very strange assortment of other physical effects of feelings of love are possible as well, including decreased appetite, an increase in focused attention on the object of one's affections, increased sweating and nervousness, and a slight decrease in critical thinking abilities related to decision-making.

I love Science and am a great believer in it – embracing it generally for its invaluable truths (I don’t ‘believe’ in it however, because eg Climate Change is not a matter of belief but acknowledgement).
