摘要:In our work we describe romantic love in terms of cerebral activity and define its specific anatomic correlates.We also offer a sum of current knowledge coming out from the previous research in social neuroscience and provide a picture of how is brain activity connected with psychological processes.Analysis of gathered data shows Chat romantic love activates not only subcortical regions,which mediates a variety of emotions involved in motivation and reward-seeking,but also activates higher cerebral areas involved in social cognition,attention,memory,mental association,and self-representation.Romantic love has its strongest base in ventral tegmental area and caudate nucleus,which are the primar regions of infatuation respectively.Other regions such as cingular cortex,posterior hippocamus,and hypothalamus deal with attachment bond,sexual desire,and inclusion of other in the Self.
