The Science Behind Love

The video explores the science behind love, explaining how it triggers chemical reactions in the body, such as the release of dopamine, adrenaline, and norepinephrine. These chemicals cause physical reactions like flushed cheeks and racing hearts. Love also activates the brain's pleasure center, similar to obsessive-compulsive disorders, which may explain the intense focus on partners. The video outlines three stages of love: lust, attraction, and attachment, each driven by different hormones. It concludes by questioning if love is truly inexplicable, despite the brain's clear role.
