"O lovers, by Allah, tell us... When love befalls a youth, how is it crafted?" We will tell you how it is crafted.
As commonly known, human habits undergo changes when falling in love, a natural occurrence as the heart "for the one it loves." However, the euphoric feeling in love is orchestrated through complex processes. In other words, don't blame females for their "hormones" or males for their "indifference."
The responsible element for the euphoria experienced when falling in love is the hormone "oxytocin."
Scientists from the National University of Australia, the University of Canberra, and the University of South Australia discovered a connection between a specific region in the brain called the Behavioral Activation System (BAS) and romantic love.
The lead researcher and Ph.D. student at the National University of Australia, Adam Body, says, "We actually know very little about the evolution of romantic love. As a result, every discovery telling us about the evolution of romantic love is an important piece of the puzzle."
Scientists also found that romantic love is strongly linked to activity in brain areas associated with emotions, reward, and motivation.
It is also known that one of the brain processes, known as the Behavioral Activation System (BAS), plays a role in various motivational outcomes.
Dr. Phil Cavana, an academic at the University of Canberra and an Associate Professor at the University of South Australia, explains that the study shows that romantic love is associated with changes in behavior as well as emotion.
In further studies, the team hopes to identify differences between men and women in their approach to love and conduct a global survey to determine different types of romantic lovers.
