70. Love on the Brain - 2 year anniversary Neuroverse special
Manage episode 400871917 series 3412534
Happy Valentines day! We hope today you celebrate love in all its shapes and forms.
It is also our Neuroverse 2 year anniversary! What better way to celebrate than to dive deep into Love's effect on the brain, from the neurobiology to the philosophy (Neuroverse style). We discuss how the initial phases of falling in Love activates the same biological pathways as acute stress, causing the classical symptoms of sleeplessness, shortness of breath and longing, as well as how long-term leave and heart-break is manifested in the brain. We also postulate about the epistemology of Love and if Plato was right about the idea of soulmates, based on the myth that Zeus separated four-armed and legged humans, cursed to forever search for their second halves. Or was it Fernando Pessoa that got its right when he said "We never love anyone. What we love is the idea we have of someone. It’s our own concept—our own selves—that we love."
