1. LOVE and HORMONES

“I am in love” - a phrase we all said at least once in our lives. It's an extraordinary yet trembling feeling, and let's dive into the scientific aspects of this extraordinary phenomenon. Love is often portrayed as magical in movies and books, and those fortunate enough to experience it are deemed gifted, even if the journey ends in tears. But what exactly happens to us when we fall in love? Let's explore this process from a scientific standpoint, focusing on the role of hormones. Research in the field of psychology supports the notion that love is indeed influenced by hormones. Studies have shown that dopamine, serotonin, testosterone, and oxytocin play significant roles in the experience of love and romantic attraction (Fisher, Aron, & Brown, 2006). These hormones contribute to the euphoria, desire, bonding, and overall emotional state associated with being in love. Stay tuned for more short episodes like that. With love, Nicole.
