Have you ever fallen in Love?
Do we need to fell in love? Why do we think about our
beloved? Why love make us energetic? How music control our emotions? Can we trust on our love feelings? When we look at our beloved what
is happening in our brain? Is wanting and liking differrent?
Activated areas
2000•the medial insula•the anterior cingulate cortex•subcortically, in the caudate nucleus•the putamen
Deactivated areas
2ooo •posterior cingulate gyrus•the amygdala•right-lateralized in the prefrontal,parietal and middle temporal cortices.
Neither activeat nor deactivated
visual area(occipital lobe or in the fusiform
gyrus)which is involved in various aspects of visual facerecognition including attention to faces. Familiar Face: Higher activity!! Unfamiliar Face: Left insula Frontal lobe: known and unknown person the amygdaloid region: more active when viewing
friends than the loved partner lateral fusiform gyrus (FG):Atenttion to the face Activation in the leftventral tegmental : with facial attractiveness scores Motor activity??????
Touch and Love ‘limbic touch’ : somatosensorycortices activates directly the middle insula,
evoking pleasantfeelings of touch regulating ‘emotional, hormonal and
affiliative responses
Like or want? Like:Left VTA activation was specifically
associated with a face deemed esthetically pleasing
Want:Right VTA activation increased during
presentation of a face that participants would work to see longer (wanting
Happiness and Sadness Dopamine
Deactivations in the right prefrontal(sadness) and bilateral parietal and temporal cortices
Love Hurts? anterior cingulate
cortex (ACC) right temporo-
parietal junction (rTPJ).
Brain oscilation Alpha, theta, delta and beta
oscillations Reticular formation (RF) The hippocampus (HI) The thalamus Sensory cortices Memory task : alpha and theta
oscillatory activity Bad and Good Memory?
Facial expression: alpha and theta oscillatory activity
Increase in delta oscillation in occipital lobe?
Perception of the subject's own grandmother: superposition of delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma oscillations
Neuro-endocrine Vasopressin
Oxytocin increases trust by decreasing social fear
CD 38+
Unconditional love "Agape" love
Subject Study: l’Arche communities Empathy: an affective response that stems from the apprehension of another's
emotional state (e.g., sadness, happiness, pain), and which is comparable to what the other person is feeling.
Compassionrefers to an awareness of the suffering of another coupled with thedesire to alleviate that suffering Activation Areas: the periaqueductal gray matter of themidbrain (PAG) BA 13 of the middle insula
Nuclues accumbens VTA
pleasant music
cocaine activate the VTA
alcohol
Chocolate nucleus accumbens/subcallosal region and VTA
Money nucleus accumbens/subcallosal region and VTA
Neuro-realism: fMRI enables us to capture a ‘visual proof’ of brain
activity
Neuro-essentialism: Equating subjectivity and personal identity to the
brain Shortcut for moreglobal concepts such as the person, the individual or theself
Love…feel miss….sacrifice!
