Love, Your Brain, and Life (#95) - a podcast by Dr. Devaki Lindsey Berkson

Romantic love—we can’t live with it and we can’t live without it.

As humans we are very open both to great love and to great sorrow. We are built for monogamous love as well as for cheating. How we straddle the enormous divide between the drive to mate and the drive for independence varies with each of us, influenced by societal norms and even public health issues, like the hormone-altering-chemicals found in plastics and heavy metals. Is the drive to love so deeply wired that it’s safe from outside toxicities, or might environmental pollution be changing our brains and thus our ability to love?

• Why is the drive to love so strong?
• Where does romantic love “live” inside our brains?
• How do we pick the "right one"?
• Once we find love, how do we make it stay?
