This strong feeling could not be ignored not only by poets but also by scientists who managed to give it a completely understandable explanation.
When Lovers Look into each Other’s Eyes, Their Heart Rate Is Synchronized
It’s the conclusion reached by researchers at the University of California at Davis. The experiment involved couples who were asked to look each other in the eyes for three minutes without looking up. Scientists have observed the heart rate of lovers and registered changes in the rhythm of the heartbeat. It turned out that the beating of the lover’s hearts is synchronized, while the hearts of women tended to adjust to the hearts of men more often than vice versa. People in a state of love simply experience an increased desire to respond to the experiences of their partners emotionally.
A “Short Circuit” Occurs in the Lover’s Brain, Which Prevents Critical Assessment of the Partner
Probably, each of us can remember a couple in love who, it would seem, cannot be together in any way. However, despite the advice and protests of relatives and friends, the couple doesn’t part, even if it comes to terrible quarrels. Experts believe that the regions of the brain responsible for making rational decisions in these cases are disarmed by special chemicals that are formed as a result of this love. This way, the ability to evaluate a partner on a social basis is weakened.
