Here are 6 scientifically proven facts about love.
1. The brain responds differently to love than to lust.
While chemistry and passion are a crucial component of love, they aren’t enough on their own. This is why the majority of one night stands and intense summer romances fail. Brain scans have actually revealed that the brain responds differently to love than it does to lust.
While lust activates the brain regions associated with rewards such as pleasure, love activates the regions that deal with the most basic rewards, like getting water when you’re thirsty. Love is a long-term drive. Lust for one person doesn’t last for hours, months and years without stopping. Over time, passion can lead to love, but it is a mistake to confuse these very different responses.
