This is your brain on love.

Love activates some of the most primal regions of the brain, such as the caudate nucleus, ventral tegmental area, amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex. 

These areas work together to release dopamine, oxytocin, and adrenaline, creating a euphoric sense of purpose.

Love can also affect our cognitive functions. 

During the early stages of love, the prefrontal cortex, responsible for logic and decision-making, may slow down, leading to impulsive behavior and irrational thinking. 

Additionally, serotonin levels may drop, contributing to obsessive thoughts and appetite changes.

While the initial excitement of new love fades over time, the love can evolve into a deeper, more committed bond.
