Affairs of the heart are actually brain chemistry...
Don't fool yourself...
=======================================
Recent studies in neuroscience have indicated that
a consistent number of chemicals are present in the
brain when people testify to feeling love.
These chemicals include; Testosterone,
Oestrogen, Dopamine, Norepinephrine,
Serotonin, Oxytocin, and Vasopressin.
More specifically, higher levels of Testosterone
and Oestrogen are present during the lustful phase
of a relationship. Dopamine, Norepinephrine,
and Serotonin are more commonly found during
the attraction phase of a relationship.
Oxytocin, and Vasopressin seemed to be more
closely linked to long term bonding and relationships
characterized by strong attachments.
