Love Series: Love At First Sight Sounds Great, But Is It Real? Does It Matter?


Listen Later

You’ve seen the meet-cute in movies and tv shows a thousand times – two people lock eyes from across a crowded room, or on a busy sidewalk. Suddenly, and inexplicably, they’re in love. Maybe these aren’t stories of fantasy and fiction – maybe it’s actually happened to you, or someone you know. We’ve learned from scientific studies that certain stages of romantic love are driven by dopamine, which is the chemical in our brain also responsible for motivating our ancestors to find food and water. Love, in a sense, is part of our survival system. But is it really possible to fall in love at first sight? Have it happened to you or someone close to you? We want to know! Call us atl 866-893-5722 or email [email protected].

Joining us today on AirTalk to talk about the phenomenon of love at first sight is clinical professor in neurology at Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx and co-creator of the website “The Anatomy of Love,” Lucy Brown.
