Love is blind! This is what science discovered

To say that love is blind is no longer an expression, it is a reality.

The University of London published a study whereby it was discovered that romantic love and maternal love produce a similar effect on the brain. The only difference between the two is that romantic love activates the hypothalamus, which is responsible for excitement.

The research determined that the activity associated with other people's social criticism and negative emotions are suppressed. This way is that people in love do not listen to what others have to tell you about your partner and are unable to criticize or say something bad about your love.

During the research they scanned more than 20 brains exposed to maternal love and romantic love and saw that the reactions are similar.

The answer is euphoria

The section that is mostly stimulated is the "reward system" and as happens when we make a lot of money, the feeling that is generated is the euphoria.

Our brain releases dopamine and oxytocin, which causes the feeling of pleasure. Love is a feeling that generates pleasure and happiness and that is why our brain wants that feeling to be maintained. The brain will work to feel love, which is good for the perpetuation of our species according to the principal investigator Bartels.

On the other hand, these people were found to be low in terms of activity related to negative judgments. That is why we idealize and worship our partner even when he has attitudes repudiated by others.

This study allows us to conclude that human love is the strongest that exists because of this characteristic, because it overcomes things like social distance, an element that no other species has.

So the next time they tell you that love is blind you will have to say that they are right. How about?
