psychology behind love 

Psychology is a science (despite what many believe), and we often can explain love in a number of ways - most which are far from romantic.

One way that has had a lot of scientific support has been that love is an emotion that serves evolutionary purpose - and the feeling of love is usually caused by the release of hormones - notably "oxytocin." People get a release of oxytocin after sex, hugging, even snuggling with your pet.

When oxytocin releases, it causes a feeling of love, but more importantly, it is known as a "bonding hormone" - meaning that it makes you more likely to stay together. This makes sense, right? If you've just had sex (possibly conceiving a child), being emotionally bonded means that this coming child is far more likely to survive (as well as the mother) - at least in the wild. The increased survival of the child ensures the increased likelihood of the survival of your genetic material. Voila!

Despite all the science, however, most will still like to define love in romantic ways that make us swoon, fill us with lust or romantic thoughts...but the truth is out there.

Don't let it stop you from buying flowers.

Brain and spinal cord

Your brain and spinal cord, which make up your central nervous system, are in charge of your body. When you walk across the street or pet a soft kitten or take a test—nearly everything you consciously do—your central nervous system is at work. But what happens when the central nervous system has a problem? When injuries and diseases, some of which are inherited, affect the brain and spine, all sorts of unwanted symptoms can take place. Some are psychological—such extremely short attention span. Some might seem minor, such as a tremor that can come with Parkinson’s disease. Others are life-threatening. Many get worse over time; these are called neurodegenerative. Using biotechnology, people are working to figure out the cause of these neurological problems—and looking for ways to fix them. In this issue, we discuss diseases of the central nervous system. We also take a closer look at a sample of the tools and technology scientists are using today to address the various ways your brain and spinal cord can go haywire. We hope you’ll find this issue interesting—and perhaps interesting enough to consider a career in the field
