How love makes us feel can only be defined on an individual basis, but what it does to the body, specifically the brain, is now less abstract thanks to science. One of the problems with early-stage attraction, according to anthropologist Helen Fisher, is that it activates parts of the brain that are linked to drive, craving, obsession, and motivation, while other regions that deal with decision-making shut down. Professor Ted Fischer and psychiatrist Gail Saltz explain the different types of love, explore the neuroscience of love and attraction, and share tips for sustaining relationships that are healthy and mutually beneficial.
Watch their video, answer the questions that follow in an initial post, and then respond to two of your peers’
What are the primary scientific explanations provided in the video for why humans experience love and attraction?
How does the video describe the role of neurotransmitters in feeling love and obsession?
What differences between romantic love and long-term attachment are highlighted in the video?
How can understanding the science of attraction and love influence your personal relationships or wellbeing?
What examples from the video illustrate the impact of biological factors or human behavior?
Reflect on how the information presented in the video changes or reinforces your understanding of love and attraction. How might this new knowledge affect your approach to relationships?
Your initial post should be roughly 500 words in length, and your responses to peers should be roughly 200 words each. Cite sources you reference in-text and under a “References” section in APA format.
