Love is blind (401 words)
Not only is love blind, people like to be blind while they are in love.
Love’s habitat is the dark: dark corners, dark bars, dark alleys, dark rooms, the night itself.
All of that doesn’t mean that literal blindness as a permanent condition is something to be desired.
Love really is blind - Science - www.theage.com.au (1100 words)
But if all love boils down to, according to science, a genetic prerogative being pursued through hard wiring in our brains, then the neurological basis of love, like the brain activity and hormonal responses which underpin love, should theoretically share similar biological underpinnings.
For example, in romantic love a part of the brain towards the base, called the hypothalamus, is specifically activated and this area is implicated in pushing out chemicals which mediate sexual arousal like testosterone and other sex hormones.
Also, in romantic love, some parts of the brain possibly implicated in what is termed "theory of mind" seem to be more active compared with maternal love.
