Love: Heart or Brain

LOVE:

HEART OR BRAIN.

"I love, how love the love. I don't know, another reason to love that love you. What do you want me to tell you besides that I love you, if I want to say is that I love you? Fernando Pessoa.

Love, oh how beautiful is to feel butterflies in the stomach, our heart beating faster, blush at the sight of that special person, I'm sure most of us have been or are in love.

"A heart that love never gets old."

But we really love by the heart ?, studies show the opposite and tell us that love by the brain.

"You have to listen to the head but leave the heart speak." Marguerite Yourcenar

Although feel butterflies in the stomach and the heart beats, love begins in the head. The brain sends signals and releases substances such as norepinephrine, dopamine, oxytocin, vasopressin, which generate this state of confusion and excitement.

Georgina Montemayor Flores, a researcher at the Faculty of Medicine of the UNAM, explained that in the early stages of love we lose the reason why: "areas that control emotions are activated, such as: thalamus, amygdala, hypothalamus, hippocampus, cingulate gyrus (responsible for the association of memories to smells and pain) and parts of the limbic system (primarily responsible for our emotional life, and memory formation). "

The so-called true love, explains the specialist, comes as occurs in the brain phenylethylamine which is responsible for flood us dopamine, the substance is the neurotransmitter responsible for the enforcement mechanisms of the brain, ie the ability to want something and repeat behavior that brings pleasure. While we're in love we release serotonin also leads to a progressive increase in the welfare and happiness with greater sexual stimulation.

So you know the next Valentine you can give away as something original brains or brains in heart shape, well I think that does not matter, just live and enjoy love.

Political fanaticism.

Political fanaticism.

For Voltaire: “Fanaticism is to superstition what delirium is to fever, what rage is to anger. He who has ecstasies, visions, who takes dreams for realities and his imaginations for prophecies is a novice fanatic with great hopes; he may soon get to kill for God's sake."
