Is Love at First Sight Possible?
Your favorite cafe. Late breakfast on Sunday. You are drinking sweet flat white. Look up and – boom, you see the person who seems the best at first sight. Unreal? Your intuition is simply drawn to a mysterious stranger. Could it be love at first sight?
Science Says
Love is a biological construct. Some scientists say that love at first sight is possible, especially when you consider that our brains can decide in one-tenth of a second.What happens to the brain when you are in love
Our brain release oxytocin – often called the “love hormone” – during contact with a person and affects how strong your bond is with that person. Because everyone reacts differently, the connection in the brain can be positive (love) or negative (hate). When you meet a new person, 2 main parts of the brain are activated:- “amygdala” (emotions)
- “posterior cingulate cortex” (autobiographical memory – responsible for decision making).
