The Love Competition at Stanford University

In RESEARCH on July 29, 2012 at 1:46 am

 

Apparently neuroscientists from Stanford University assumed that the intensity of love can be measured using fMRI scanner.  They were checking the levels of activity in the dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin/vasopressin pathways to assess the depth of one’s love for a chosen person. Interestingly they admitted various sorts of love.

The competition took place at Stanford Center for Cognitive and Neurobiological Imaging.

I think the results turned out interesting!

Enjoy the reportage! :-)
