it was love at first sight

İngiliz Telegraph gazetesindeki bu haberi gördüm az önce:

Falling in love 'takes a fifth of a second and is like taking cocaine'

Love at first sight really is possible because it takes just milliseconds for euphoria-inducing chemicals to flood the brain after setting eyes on the right person, researchers believe.

The first flush of love stimulates 12 different parts of the brain to start releasing “feel-good” chemicals such as dopamine, oxytocin, adrenaline and vasopression, a study at Syracuse University in New York found.

The same chemicals are triggered by a dose of cocaine – meaning that the feeling of falling in love is similar to that induced by taking the Class-A drug .

Professor Stephanie Ortigue, who led the research, said: “These findings confirm love has a scientific basis. But they beg the question: ‘Does the heart fall in love, or the brain?’

İlginç.
