The person who has been in love at least once in their life knows that this experience is capable of producing changes. It is a feeling that can lead to ecstasy or anguish.
As a result of the development of neurosciences, it is possible to understand the biological origin when the feeling of passion is experienced.
Sexual desire, which is linked to passion, can be related to psychic and cerebral aspects of those who feel the attraction. Thus, the behavior displayed by the person in love can be determined by the brain, since this is behavior that aims to achieve a goal, the desired person. This interest is not determined only by the other's physical characteristics.
Do not stop now... There's more after the advertising ;)
Hormones, especially sex hormones, can be of fundamental importance. Although they influence the development of Organs genitals, they also influence parts of the brain towards the male or female.
