I want to talk about love in a completely scientific way, and I hope it will be published in the magazine. To be honest, I became scientifically in love three years ago with a science called ,"Neuroscience" and I wanted to be in the scientific atmosphere of the 20st century. Life became beautiful for me because everything was a way to save the world, and I was really happy and still am. It was a great transformation in my life.

 

Love can be for anything and can happen in any form. 

 

Perhaps love, in terms of some characteristics, is similar to OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) in neuroscience and biology because the mind is constantly preoccupied with one thing and the person has compulsive behaviors. However, OCD is an obsession that disrupts a person's life, but love can make life beautiful.

 

Research has shown that love can affect the health of the human brain and body. According to studies on animal species, a species that experiences more love and has its brain stimulated by love is more stable and has more coherence. Perhaps love has evolved to combat problems.

 

However, love can be dependent on circumstances and may decrease focus or problem-solving abilities, which can be damaging. But it activates mirror neurons, which play a role in learning.

 

Hormones and neurotransmitters play a significant role in love and create changes in the human and animal body and brain. In fact, scientists observed a significant decrease in bonding behavior when they blocked oxytocin receptors in the brains of prairie voles. Conversely, when oxytocin was administered to voles that typically do not form pair bonds, such as meadow voles, they started displaying similar monogamous behaviors. 

 

Genes also play a role in love because they contain the instructions for producing hormones and neurotransmitters, and they give the instructions to the ribosomes to make them. 

 

Love is still very unknown from a scientific perspective, but understanding it can answer many questions that exist in the human mind and contemplate the greatness of creation.

Maybe love is the reason for the existence of science and the reason for our existence and this is very beautiful.
