Love really is like a drug :)

Hi everyone!

Today I will comment on an article that I found very interesting and pretty.The name of this article is "Love is like a drug really."Well, the article says that love partially blocks the pain in the same manner in which it operates an opioid analgesic and other illicit drugs.

A team of neuroscientists investigaron on 15 American students who admitted to being in the passionate early stages of a relationship showed that feelings for their partner reduced intense pain by 12% and moderate pain by 45%.

The study consisted in showing eight women and seven men a photo of their partners, while applied dose of pain in your hands with hot probes. At the same time the students had their brains connected to a scanner. After the test, students rated the intensity of pain they felt.

The test results revealed that sentimmientos that picture was generated with their partners acted as a potent analgesic. In addition, brain scans showed that these feelings cause more brain activity than it has produced drugs such as morphine and cocaine.

This study also assessed whether the distraction of students is decreasing pain, for this was given as a simple mental tasks such as naming sports that do not involve a ball.The brain scans showed that the love and distraction are used for reduce pain although they act in different pathways in the brain

From my point of view, I think this study is very important and is reflected in our professional future, and we know the company by a partner during the childbirth significantly reduces the pain of the mother, which could be a theory to support this beautiful and important study.

Hope you enjoyed it as much as me.
Take care!
