Which behaviors that you think are sick are actually "physiological preferences"?

【Written at the end】

Love is the result of long-term precise neural control in the brain. At different stages of love, different brain functional activity areas have obvious differences. When the love lasts for more than 6 months, the activity of the brain areas related to long-term love will become stronger and stronger, which helps maintain the relationship between partners.

· But when a person is heartbroken, the defense mechanism in the brain is activated. The person feels angry and longs to get back together. But when the brain accepts the fact of the heartbreak, it quickly enters a state of despair or resignation.

Researchers also found that simply looking at the face of a loved one can cause our judgment to decline. However, the influence of different cultures also has certain differences in the impact on judgment. In addition, love and maternal love also have some of the same activity areas. This also indirectly proves why couples often become jealous of their children during infancy.

In general , love is not an emotion, but a reward mechanism and a motivation for behavior.
