Love is a drug. The new discovery scientists.

A group of researchers from different countries tried to create a map of brain areas responsible for the formation of sexual desire and the feeling of love.

In the experiment, they tried to find the mechanism responsible for the activation of these two senses.

As it turned out, desire and love are activated separately from each other, but connected areas of the brain.

The brain activity of subjects volunteers were calculated in the process of examining them photos of loved ones and pictures of erotic character.

By combining these data, scientists have made a "map" of the formation of love and sexual desire in the brain.

If you are well taught biology, the following phrase will tell you about many things: for making the simple desire of sex in love is responsible islet share and striatum in the brain.

The region that is responsible for the formation of love involved in such things as fun and rewarding, which have inherent value, but the one that is responsible for sexual desire, starting to work under the influence of such pleasant things as food or sex.

When sex turns into love, for this feeling is the other part of the striatum (striped body). It is noteworthy that this region is responsible for drug addiction.

So the comparison of love with drugs can be considered scientifically proven.
