Where does Cupid's arrow go? Modern brain science has proven that it is the brain that controls all the functions and processes of the body, including our feelings. So the correct answer is that the heart cannot control our feelings. The heart is a muscle that does not produce any hormones at all. And the struggle between the mind and feelings takes place in the brain itself. The reason is that two factors - the instinct of reproduction and the desire for development - overlap each other, and since from the point of view of nature we are still primarily animals, in most cases the mechanism of procreation is stronger. And for evolution in a global sense, the creation of another neural connection in the brain is also more important. The dominant role in the experiences of unrequited love belongs to the brain We can rationally choose a partner in several stages: first, the “selection” of a partner is carried out according to external signs, and then personal qualities and intellectual development are secondary signs. Ideally, when the first and second coincide, we decide to communicate. Can we really hear the heartbeat of love? Yes. The human body is a mechanism, and some of its organs really work "loudly". Please note that if we communicate with a very interesting person in a cafe with loud music, we still perceive the language of our interlocutor, and other sounds become the background. Selective hearing is a special function of the brain that protects us from unnecessary overload. When we are very excited, we are able to clearly hear the work of the heart and even breathing. This is a signal that the body is very tense. Can love hurt the heart? Yes. The dominant role in the experiences of unrequited love still belongs to the brain. When the brain is activated, the lover experiences excitement in the heart zone, because the heartbeat quickens, and on a subjective level, this can be perceived by a person as warmth spreading throughout the body, a feeling of fullness. Because of the constant experience of unrequited love, he may feel pain in his heart. Is it possible to lose your head in love? Yes. More precisely, the head - no, but common sense - you can. In moments of falling in love, we have joyful excitement, a surge of strength, loss of appetite, sometimes even insomnia. People who are deeply in love have poor brain function.
Why do we need it then? And how can we live without it? Can you determine why, of all people, you love only this one?
