7Many people have ever heard that love is unreasonable. No need to think anything, the example is when we crush someone or dare to do unexpectedly. It just wants to win the mind who you secretly like or love. When we do like that, we may not think too much. Many people may understand that the use of ideas or reasons come from the brain and the feelings or emotions come from the heart, such as the love sentence that you often hear it, "I love you all my heart", "I love you like as glass of heart", "My love is unreasonable because it’s used only heart.” It seems like to confirm that love is from the heart more than reason of brain. What’s love associated with the organ named, Brain or heart? Today we will try to find a solution.
The first thing for some people who misunderstand that love is not rational and only emotional. In science, it cannot believe that love is directly related to the brain or may say that love is from the brain. Because of the idea and reason for love is related to the outer brain, called the Cerebrum, which is about 80% of the total brain size. The brain is the beginning and center of learning for people whether it is memory, analytical thinking, creativity, reasoning, or decision making. Which it is not strange if we’ll learn and use this idea with love through the brain. For the mood or feelings human is derived from chemicals or neurotransmitters in the brain, including the limbic system in the brain that controls the feelings including love, fear, or other feelings. The example, when we fall in love with someone, why we’re excited or heartbeat. That's because the lymphatic system secretes dopamine, which is a substance of happiness. When you are near the one who you love, researchers found that there’s the same chemical substance that you have as you’re addictive some drugs. It’s the dopamine neurotransmitter in this brain. That’s why it is very effective when people take drugs in the amount of limits then they feel energetic so much. Therefore, the chemical has been released, we will be happy or do anything crazy for people who we love without thinking anything.
In summary, if you think of science side, love comes from the work of the brain, which is both part of the reason and the emotions that come from chemicals or neurotransmitters in the brain. If we have to tell love in science with beloved people, "I love you from my brain" or "I give my brain to you instead of love", it seems not quite romantic. Even though love comes from the brain, we let the feeling come out from mind. Consequently, this world must live together for reasons as well as emotions.
