In one of my very first posts, I’d like to introduce prof. Helen Fisher, an anthropologist, researcher and great speaker.  I had considered love to be an interesting topic before, but this video (which I watched 4 years ago) turned out to be an incentive to deepen and systematize my knowledge.

In less than 17 min you can learn:

how being dumped causes particular brain activities in regions associated with calculating gains and loses;

does love have in common with cocaine;

that animals ‘love’ as well and are very picky in their choices;

and more… :-)

Enjoy!
