We are sorry to break the charm, but love, in strictly biochemical terms , is nothing more than the result of the action of a handful of hormones that are activated when we meet someone who makes us "dick". And it is that our brain activity overflows when we fall in love … hence many people affirm that, deep down, love is a matter more of the brain than of the heart.
Dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin … what a mess of molecules! They are the culprits that our hands sweat, we have butterflies in our stomach and our heart beats when we are with the loved one. Are you up to date on neurochemistry of love? We have prepared a test to help you find out:
Take part in our test: The biochemistry of love, do you know everything? and test your knowledge!
And, if the test is too little for you, you can always keep reading and learning in our special "The science of love".
