Crazy For You - Here's the Scan to Prove It

SYDNEY MORNING HERALD -- May 31 -- Scientists believe Love could be mistaken for psychosis.  Scientists have for the first time produced brain scans of people in the first stages of love and those who have been rejected and concluded that romance is a biological urge distinct from sexual arousal.  Writing in The Journal of Neurophysiology, the scientists from New York and New Jersey said romance was closer in its neural profile to drives such as hunger, thirst or drug craving than to excitement or affection.  However, as a relationship deepens, the neural activity alters slightly, and in some cases primes those areas involved in long-term attachment.  2500 brain images from 17 college students who were in the first weeks or months of new love were analyzed. Last year, scientists in Atlanta reported that they could turn promiscuous male voles into stay-at-home fathers by activating the areas highlighted in the new study.  You can almost imagine a time where instead of going to Match.com you could have a test to find out whether you're an attachment type or not.  FULL ARTICLE @ SYDNEY MORNING HERALD
