Why does falling in love feel like an addiction? #shorts #neuroscience
Did you know that the brain reacts to being "in love" in the same way it does to drug addiction? The feeling of being in love releases dopamine, which triggers the brain's reward system, creating a sense of pleasure and euphoria. Here are some additional facts about the science of love:
Brain scans show that people who are in love have increased activity in the part of the brain associated with reward and motivation.
The same brain regions activated during romantic love are also active during the experience of drug addiction.
Studies have shown that the brain's reward system is more responsive in people who are newly in love.
Researchers have found that people who have recently fallen in love have lower levels of serotonin, which is associated with appetite, mood, and sleep.
