"love" from neuroscience perspective

well a general start but now with specific topics ..
the thing which haunted me the most is love...
being in love and been love is unique..
99.99% it starts as friendship but we realize it is more than friendship when we see in the opposite one..
but lots think it is hormonal true.. but how?
the basis is that , brain repeats itself universally yet uniquely.. i see almost everyone cross this lake of love but each and everyone cross it differently.. what makes people think uniquely is the question..
well genetically it is possible to think uniquely.. the reason is we all know genes vary with person to person but those genes are same in the case of twins but the thing which makes these persons vary is epigenetics.. the gene code is the same while the histone modification is different.
research tells us it plays a great role in memory , learning etc etc..
these things are greatly affected by hormones in some way..
so naturally love is a way hormonal yet very powerful than just hormonal y so?
love is a good feeling or impulse created and registered as a simple attraction yet it grows as and wen this impulse gets strong and connected.. a thought tangle is created between them no matter how far they are but it does all sorts of mystical things practically but its nothing but concentrating once thought being practised scientifically..
love is one such weapon which controls unconscious mind consciously.. which makes it  strong and grows parasitically over time...

universal love or loving each and everything is the next stage wherein u love even the most saddest thing or hated thing anything for that matter..
real love towards a person can lead u to this state which is seen as a person turned philosophical (in normal persons terms) in specific in the case of love failure..
but actually it is not failured love which makes the person see love universally but it is the opposite that is the strong impulse in their love towards that person..
understanding love is mystical provided u really undertsand the person s thoughts ..



I want someone to explain me what love is more scientifically :)

  1. All i know is love ,sadness or any emotion for that matter is just just the varying amount of secretions of some chemical substances..may be hormones..whose quantity and concentration were designed in a fool proof manner by our creator.As a result of which we can only experience and are not supposed research upon such topics
    :)
    the more you research
    the more mysterious it will become:)
    thats nature and god 's creation!!!

  2. but why it depends on many factors that too universally, if u say harmones to be fool proof, what do u mean by that?
    more scientific plzz

  3. okay..cldnt resist commenting :) i agree with kalyan on this one. let me add a little more to it. there is nothing special or specific called 'love'. everything abt it is wat the film industry feeds u. then wat is it really? its biology. good 'ol evolution and survival of species. its basic instinct that any animal has. remember humans are social animals. we have d exact same drive and needs that any animal in d forest does. the ONLY diff is that animals dont portray these in a way that is intelligible to humans. and by that i mean they dont talk our language, write or post on FB. which is y we think of ourselves as superior (basic human arrogance :)); we tend to romanticize every phenomenon arnd us. and it was due to this higher level of creativity that humans possess this basic drive called 'reproduction' took on a whole new meaning. now try telling that to ppl and they'll scoff at u for being brutally frank abt it. the basic eqn goes thus : male meets female...woos her...she chooses...and they make progeny. as simple as that! thats wat happens wit every single other animal species...and no animal questions the instinct coz it doenst make a big fuss abt it. maybe coz to an animal everyday survival nd food are harder targets to achieve than finding a mate...hormones work there wit excellent precision.
    humans by far have the longest period of nurturing an offspring. and there comes trouble. the concept of a family, kids etc etc is so exhilarating that nobody realises the true consequences of investing more than hormones till after they've been 'hurt' or put themselves thro one of the million psychological manifestations! i blame movies and books that portray this feeling of 'love' in attractive ways that makes it impossible to not give it a shot! afterall humans are pleasure loving animals! so there it is...love is just biology wrapped in a glossy gift wrap. understand it that way and u'll save urself a lotttttt of heartburns! :)

  4. hey u r right in a way but my question is the love from neuroscience perspective. that is y is that in the movies and bla bla stuff of hormonic changed or precisely the puberty acheived males and females are affected by this concept called attraction and they force themselves and name it love , in some other cases get themselves commited and stick together, not soceital point of view because soceity is the higher or finished product of human brain s interactive capacity. I am asking from memory and learning plasticty point of view, which is same for all the animals. summarizing the above question i ask you human brain gets affected from environmental stuff like movies and may be accfroding to u he creates a concept called love but y it affects him only after he attains puberty and the thoughts he registers in his brain all sort of memories he stores , wats the difference between the stored memories of love to that of normal basic learning and memory of all the organisms irrespective of animals brain capacity or no of brain cells. I think I am clear in my thoughts that is u can understand me :)

  5. Intriguing post... Must say that "parasitic growth" is the best love related term I've ever come across...

    Unfortunately, this hormonal relay between the hypothalamus and adrenal glands, brings about a state of asymbiosis in our life when malnourished with our (petty) intellect...

    P.S: Although this is a silly attempt to speak your language, I hope I've got the grammar right... Good post yaar... :)

    P.P.S: Yo lazy think tank! You write a jumbo blog entry when just asked to comment and call yourself lazy! EKSI!

    1. You mean to say this asymbiosis is the main reason for love?

  6. @ lazy think tank:
    Sorry for the late reply... you are right. Man in his arrogance towards intellect makes things romantic. But Love if it is from Chimps part of brain I will completely agree with you. Dont you think this arrogance, love and every other feeling is from the seat of intellect or from the cerebrum which is unique for humans. Basically in the history of Brain evolution, man's and chimp 's brain is similar just the cerebrum is even more complicated (cerebrum makes man a social animal )and the chimp s brain functions the basic animal instincts.So, can you now say it is simple reproduction just exaggerated by man's dominance?
