The Science behind Love

  There is an media house in UK ,WIRED Conducted interview with neuroscientist.Following things were discussed in that interview  All credit of this article goes to the wired ,  Is love an emotion, an urge, brain chemistry, or something else entirely? It’s the one question that has dominated our  culture  and  relationships  for millions of years. But what is love? It's powerful enough to drive us to create new life or to destroy it, but while countless books, poems, films, plays, and careers have been made out of trying to decipher it, or at least represent it, can we pin down what it actually is? WIRED asks neuroscientist  Gabija Toleikyte  and biological anthropologist  Helen Fisher  for their take. What is love? Both scientists agreed that love is not something that can be controlled, curated or switched on or off. Instead, it arises from the depths of our subconscious. “Our subconscious mind has about ten times mo re information than our rational brain,” Toleikyte told WIRED.
