How We're Wired

How We Love


Listen Later

What is love? What's happening in our brains when we're falling for someone? And why are we wired for forming deep, meaningful connections? 

In this episode of How We’re Wired, join evolutionary anthropologist and love expert Dr Anna Machin as she unpicks the neuroscience of love, from the genetic unpinning of our strongest relationships to the neurochemicals that bond us together. Plus, the story of a couple facing the challenges of making long-distance love work.   

With special thanks to Serafin, Megan, and Bianca Acevedo.
