Business falls love usually very complicated. It is not just a question relationbut also the underlying process.
Everyone wants true love. But is love included in that category?
“When people fall in love, a lot happens on a neurochemical level,” said Philip Stieg, chief of neurosurgery at New York-Presbyterian / Weill Cornell Medical Center. Health problems.

Usually when someone sees someone they like, the body will produce high amounts of testosterone and estrogen. It will make a person feel crazy.
The brain will then trigger an increase in dopamine, which plays an important role in causing feelings of pleasure in humans. In addition to dopamine, the brain also produces norepinephrine.
He makes his heart beat faster, he rarely rests and he loses his appetite. So if someone feels more and more in love, the brain will produce large amounts of oxytocin.
Oxytocin evokes feelings of affection in loved ones. Meanwhile, vasopressin, also produced by the brain, causes someone to try to protect loved ones, causing feelings of attachment.
Long story short, according to Stieg, “There is clearly no single point in the brain that tells us how to feel. That’s why we need the cooperation of our five senses to work to identify the character we want and guide us to the perfect person,”
Eyes, for example, Stieg said, when someone saw someone they loved, they felt a sense of infatuation. It is common in men who are more attracted to visual stimuli than women.
While on the skin, gestures such as holding hands will cause people who fall in love to release oxytocin and dopamine. For the sense of smell, aka nose, humans are not like animals who rely on these senses to find a partner.
But a new study says there are people who rely on their sense of smell to detect chemical signals from the opposite sex that could potentially become a partner. These signals are called pheromones.
On the other hand, for the senses of taste (tongue) and hearing (ears), humans usually want a relationship after eating sweet foods and then seeing loved ones. “Our ears play an important role in controlling feelings of romantic love. Whether we listen to our lover’s voice or speak softly on the phone,” says Stieg.
Meanwhile, citing the official Harvard website, romantic love can be divided into three categories: lust, attraction, and attachment. Each category is classified by the hormone that produces it.
For lust aka lust, it involves testosterone and estrogen. Testosterone increases libido in men, while in women it is absorbed by estrogen.
The attraction involves three hormones, namely dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin. Dopamine is released from the brain when humans do something pleasurable for themselves.
At the same time, the release of norepinephrine makes the person in love energetic, full of euphoria and even insomnia. In addition, there is also serotonin, a hormone that affects appetite and mood.
For attachment (attachment), there are two hormones involved: oxytocin and vasopressin. This attachment is the dominant factor in long-term relationships.
While lust and attraction are usually purely a matter of romantic love, attachment exists in friendships, parent-child bonds, social friendship etc.
