My prefrontal cortex left the chat: what happens when love is on the brain

Hey again, it's me, Santina Duarte, reporting for duty. This week has honestly been filled with the nightmarish experience of crushing on someone now and it has made me s p i r a l like the most unhinged conversations with my friends over the most disgusting feelings. So, anyway, I wanted to talk about some of the neuroscience behind crushes and why love is such an important aspect of human health, because I have been driving myself insane. Also, spoiler alert - my crazy cat lady dendincies also don't help with this and are probably exacerbating my insanity, which is really fun. So, fall down a rabbit hole with me and watch as I justify my recent late-night walks in the rain while listening to The Tortured Poets Department on repeat.As per usual, I release a new episode every Monday at 7:00 am EST. You can find me on all podcast platforms and on Instagram at @theplasticitypodcast. Thank you so much for another week of listening, and remember: b*tches aint sh*t, and they aint saying nothing —100 MF's can't tell me nothing.
