Your brain in love Those two distinct types of love arise from different brain regions, says Helen Fisher, PhD, a member of the Center for Human Evolutionary Studies at Rutgers University. "Romantic love originates in the ventral tegmental area in the oldest part of the brain near centers that govern thirst and hunger," she explains. "Romantic love is a basic drive that focuses our energy on winning life's greatest prize: a mating partner. It is a mechanism for survival. " A primary brain region linked with attachment, however, is the ventral pallidum, which is more modern and higher up (in the third scoop). "Intense, romantic attraction is a more primitive response than feelings of attachment, which are more recent," she says. This circuitry is linked to lifelong love. "People in love long term show activity in the ventral medial prefrontal cortex, which is linked with 'positive illusion' — the ability to overlook cons and focus on pros," Fisher says. People in long-lasting love relationships say things like "It annoys me when he doesn't pick up his socks, but I love his sense of humor. " This mind-set may help nurture loving feelings long after the honeymoon period. Disponível em: rd. Com. Acesso em: 20 fev. 2015.
