Why people don’t accept love as it is, full of agonies and extasies, a misterious force that keeps the universe together?
But no, even for love there is a need for explanations….
According to a study in the recent issue of The Journal of Sexual Medicine, people who “fall in love at first sight” do so in a fifth of a second.
The researchers say the feeling is the same sort of sensation that one gets from using cocaine.
Below, an edited transcript of Science2.0 post:
Do you fall in love using your heart or your brain?
It depends. For your brain – says a new analysis by Syracuse University Professor Stephanie Ortigue – falling in love elicits the same euphoric feeling as using cocaine, but it also affects intellectual areas of the brain. That’s a pretty big endorsement of the brain being number one in romance.
So if love is in the brain and not the heart, is there ‘love at first sight’ after all?
The science says yes, according to the researchers, who found falling in love only takes about a fifth of a second.
The love feeling also affects sophisticated cognitive functions, such as mental representation, metaphors and body image, which may explain why peoples’ abilities and behaviors are all over the psychology map when they are in a new relationship.
The findings have interest for neuroscience and mental health research because when relationships don’t work out, it can be a significant cause of emotional stress and depression. “It’s another probe into the brain and into the mind of a patient,” says Ortigue. “By understanding why they fall in love and why they are so heartbroken, they can use new therapies.”
The study also shows different parts of the brain fall for love. For example, unconditional love, such as that between a mother and a child, is sparked by the common and different brain areas, including the middle of the brain. Passionate love is sparked by the reward part of the brain, and also associative cognitive brain areas that have higher-order cognitive functions, such as body image.
So, seriously, does your heart fall in love or the brain?
“That’s a tricky question always,” says Ortigue. “I would say the brain, but the heart is also related because the complex concept of love is formed by both bottom-up and top-down processes from the brain to the heart and vice versa. For instance, activation in some parts of the brain can generate stimulations to the heart, butterflies in the stomach. Some symptoms we sometimes feel as a manifestation of the heart may sometimes be coming from the brain.”

a man can fall in love in seconds, women wait untill they look at the bank account first.
When you consider that woman compared to men, earn less for doing the same type of work, have lesser chance of getting credit than men, and are employed in fewer higher paid jobs, and that is in my country which is considered to offer “equal opportunities”, you might like to review your view and realise which gender is actually interested in their bank balance?

EL AMOR ES ALGO MAGICO QUE PONE LOS PELOS DE PUNTA, QUE NO TIENE EXPLICACION ALGUNA…ES ALGO QUE SUCEDE EN TODO EL CUERPO, DA VIDA Y DUELE DULCEMENTE.
I believe people need to be careful here and not get confused..
In my opinion the soul fall in love which cause hormones to be released and neurons to be excited.. And not the other way around..
The soul come first.. and to prove my words I say that a shot of hormones can’t make you fall in love but falling of love cause hormones to be in your blood..
yea,its true.whatever comes from heart with honesty and emotions and with feelings,touches other’s heart and mind.and my experience to read Paulo,is same till so far,as i have read Alchemist and now reading Brida.
i like you very much Paulo!
How long does falling into deep-ease take?

O Amor é como deus: “ninguém pode vê-lo mais acredita nele” Não vemos o amor, mais não vivemos sem ele.
O amor é uma mistura de sentimentos é uma êxtase que devora nossas forças, é uma felicidade que multiplica nossos sorrisos.
O amor é um ato de fé!
This is lame, love can’t be described scientifically.
You wont find the answer there. It is the same like asking question WHO IS GOD or WHERE IS GOD but try to proof it scientifically. Sometimes, some things can’t be defined by science. Tht’s why Paulo said Enjoy the questions, forget the answers.
so true!!! i completely agree with u.
Love is bigger than any explanations. when you really fall in love there is no words in the world can define what you really feel, even the best poets can’t help you.
Just enjoy it even if it hurts :))))
Safa :)
Wow…I think I might have experienced this..really..:D
Well said. All is true, Jessica. You are not wrong at all.
..our feelings came from our thoughts…
…conclusion ?????????
we can change our feelings by learning to change one thing:
“the way we think”
>_<
se trouver.comment se trouve-t-on? on se trouve dans l’autre -et c’est tout- pas besoin d’explications
Feeling is what a person needs to fall in love….And heart contain it.
it’s an unexplainable thing…only those people who fall/fell in love can elaborate that stuff..just live, to love, be loved…and be merry…wow love can do everything…its mysterious and fulfilling…i love to be inlove…
what use is life after its finished? even it can be considered vain. love is like life it is only to be experienced. theres no use to it.
It is unconsiderable addiction ! most of the time it is in vain , because it doesn’t fit with reality.
je crois que l’importante c’est ..le sentiment!!!!pour’qoui il faut toujour analiser…..et trover des explication..???
PEACE, LIVE END LOVE!!!
ya,it’s real to fall in love at first sight. but the question why after a period of time of a relationship (i say sometimes)
you figure out that this relation is wrong and he/she is not the right person to love or to keep on with for the rest of your life.and suddenly you realise that you first fell in love without thinking so you used your heart before then after you used your brain and logic you came up with no i don’t want him/her.
Using your brain to assess a love is not a love. This is just a judgement. You are not going to business with the person, you just love it or not. It could not e perfect, that;s why it is love. In case you arrive I don’t want him/her this you don’t love. You are not in a shop ;)
it is just a miracle when it happens it just happens after 40 years of boring really boring relationship in all aspects it is happening agian and i am 57 it gives more sadness than joy but it is beautiful
yes at 41 its just took a 1/5 a second thar I have a chunce to see here in a you will be surprized in a wake of freinds dad and ever then im in love with that girl for ever, she knows that too and we are happy
Hi,
Sometimes I do not understand why we have to dig dig dig into everything and want to explain it. Is it so important to understand the what, why and how of love? Being a science student this would probably be seen as an incorrect stand for me to take. But, sometimes I think we try too hard to reduce everything to causes, effects and choices. I’ve always known that hormones are involved, and the brain is, but can any explanation really tell me why i do all the things i do when i love people? Is there a linearity to things all the time? There might be reasons but no one explanation that ties it all together. If I had to analyse my love for my boy friend, I would have to bring in Q Mech, Marx, Freire, Capra, Coelho and Perry Mason! I don’t think it is important that science tell me about loving people – let it tell me about not destroying people, not destroying all the other creatures, not trampling dignities and ruining livelihoods in the name of development and technological progress. I appreciate a lot of what science has given us but I wish we appreciated it in a different manner rather than top-down impositions and knowledge hierarchies.
I am agree with you… emotions, feelings like sadness, happiness, love, etc. are things that we will never come to understand and we won’t have a specific scientific answer. Because these are made for feeling into you, no explanations, there is not no perfect description . We just feel it in our heart or in our whole body…It isn’t amazing. I rather prefer to keep them as my special treasure, as the magical moment, the unexplained beauty and all the power of God over us.
Sorry, for my gramar mistakes. My native language is not english.
I am also a science student and I agree. But then this sort of research can help in curing neurological diseases like depression , if not throwing real light on the concept of love.
Amen Reva. Excellent comment!

Your Love – Ennio Morricone & Dulce Pontes
I woke and you were there beside me in the night.
You touched me and calmed my fear, turned darkness into light.
I woke and saw you there beside me as before
My heart leapt to find you near to feel you close once more
To feel your love once more.
Your strength has made me strong
Though life tore us apart and now when the night seems long
Your love shines in my heart…
Your love shines in my heart.
With Love,
Jane xo
I like it. Nice!
very touchy
love is unexplainable although science made its way to try to explain it but still it remains to be one of the mysterious phenomenon in the planet..
MI OPINION ES QUE SI EXISTE EL ENAMORAMIENTO A PRIMERA VISTA Y QUE TANTO EL CEREBRO COMO EL CORAZON ESTAN AMBOS INVOLUCRADOS EN ESE ESTADO MENTAL. TENGO DUDA EN LA COMPARACION QUE HACEN CON LA SENSACION DE LA COCAINA. NO LA USO PREFIERO EL AMOR PURO Y VERDADERO. EXPERIENCIA SETENTIDOS ANOS (DE VIDA) SALUD Sr. COELHO.
Loving someone and being in love are so different. I have loved many people in my life that I had romantic feelings for. But when I first met my husband a light bulb went off and I realized, “Oh so this is what ‘in-love’ is”. If you’ve never had it, you’ll never know what it is. If you do have it you’ll treasure it always.
why do we need to love…when do u know that we are in love? when its unconditional love, is it selflessness or mere stupidity? and when one says he is in love…reality is, he feels wanted, a mere boost of someones ego and esteem knowing that someone acknowledges his existence…or hes in love because someone perfectly provides his necessity in life… so what does love really mean and its true feeling???
Falling in love head over heels, does exist.
17 years ago, a man walked in my living room, i thought that breathing wasn’t possible.
Every vain of my body reacted on him, never forget his blue eyes, blond hair and his sweetest smile.
Why, we are still at the top of the moon.
What i felt for him from the first moment, that is what he felt also about me from that moment on.
Yes it happens and it lest, but you have to accept each other the way that you are, that is why you fell in love with that person.

Y que me dicen cuando uno se enamora de una persona que ni siquiera conoce sino que solo se la imagina por lo que escribe y despues te das cuenta que esa persona no era quien tu creias, pero sigues enamorada de la idea de esa persona y hasta te obsecionas pensando que a lo mejor tu estas equivovada y que realmente existe? que clase de amor es ese, que terrible obsecion. Por favor Paulo escribe algo acerca de esto. yo podria hacer una novela, pero tu escribes mejor. Esto se llamaria Amor Sybernetico.
How can the heart fall in love, it is the organ that pumps blood round your body. Of course it is your brain that is in control of your feelings. We have to get over the fact that we feel somehow superior to the biological functioning of our body. When all is said and done there is nothing between us and other animals except that fact that we are cogniscent beings and realise that we have feelings, whereas other beings just follow their instincts. This consciousness of our feelings and understanding of what is happening to us is just part of our evolution and not a superiority of being over everything else. There is no heaven, no hell, just the fact that we know we are going to live and die; that is why we search eternally for an after life because we know what is going to happen and struggle to face it.
i totally agree ;D good point
“Of course it is your brain that is in control of your feelings.”
sex hormones, stress hormones, etc…?
a flight response is so fast. the mind is too slow for this …
” … there is nothing between us and other animals except that fact that we are cogniscent beings and realise that we have feelings, whereas other beings just follow their instincts.”
I doubt that this discrepancy does exist …. maybe it is just kept so than humans can continue to feel superior. look up what current animal behavioral research is doing, and you will find contradictions to your idea.
I had this kind of philosophy myself for a long time.
I think I mainly developed it because I was so afraid of dying & losing my identity. making everything rational, it was so much easier to have the feeling that I could control everything. instincts, intuition were for me just words without any existence in myself.
however, I had to learn to believe in & acknowledge my instincts, intuition. my life has become much better & safer to let them be present & work with them. fully accepting me with my spiritual beliefs has helped me to look at life, earth differently. even my cognitive thinking has changed, got broader.
I do not want to criticize you in any way ….
each of us goes a path that is meant to be.
this comment may just be a “hello, stay open” message. and at the same time, it is a “hello” to my old me that had exactly used your words.
big hug.
Thank you Theresa- at the risk of sounding a wet blanket hehehe thank you for that moment of sanity- the heart/brain “thing” about love. Yes the heart is a pump and has nothing whatsoever to do with feelings of love any more than the kidneys! Of course its the (economy) brain stupid! Its just the way historically people (and poets)have created a metaphor to deal with the differences between the brain and the heart – between thinking and feeling- now we know better – hahaha but we still fall in love lol. Knowing which part of the brain map is responsible will not help us-will it?
I would disagree somewhat, since research has shown that the heart is not just a pump, but has memory cells, that would elicit emotional responses felt with the brain.
Why does the heart react when we see something extraordinary? Why do we refer to intimate things as “matters of the heart”? The heart connects the brain and the soul.
Your letter is very grounding and thought provoking. What huge egos we humans have!
At 36 years old, I don’t remember having felt the love-struck feeling yet. I’d attribute this phenomena to that I did not know how to love, did not know what love feels like until recently I discovered that I AM Love and that love is everywhere now, that this great Universe is a huge source of Unconditional Love.
Now I feel so complete and fulfilled to be me and myself. And I’m making a cosmic order, very specific, to the great Universe to deliver a man who fits my specific order to me as I’m ready to receive this great man and give everything I got.
I am glad you are open at least at 36! As you experienced LOVE is every where, it is the only question of are we embracing it! :) ENJOY being in love! It never hurts… think the positive side of it’s influence it is the fuel thats drives our aspirations and makes us to look ahead for the better moments!
The other day a friend asked me why I don´t talk about my love life. Well, that is probably because this is an area of my life that has little or no problemas at all.
I was always a romantic person by nature, grew up listening to fairy tales and watching romantic comedies and – this goes to ALL psychologists out there – I did found someone. Maybe I used “the secret” rules and created a whole new world of love for me so the right one came. In the right moment and not a minute after. I did fell in love at first sight but I had learned an important lesson before, that was to not be the “princess” any longer. If I wanted love, I needed to be in love with life and myself and have fun, so eventually when someone came along it would just happen. Plus, my favourite sentence at the time – regret what you did, not what you did not. I was shy and I never imagined myself calling somebody to explain things out but that is basically how it all started. And here we are 13 years later still together and still in love. Love is simple, starts under the name of passion but what makes people stay together is respect and friendship. If there was once chemistry, it will always be there. It just need to be evoked… =DDDDD
Thank you. It gives a hope.
They Can’t accept love as it is Because it is too complex, and they can’t understand that Love is a lot more then what the people say they feel sometimes…Scientists can’t help the fact that in the universe there are things that CAN’T be explain by logic and simple science and math.
Love is the simplest of all, We have made it complex. Love, like the soul, is eternal.
MIRA QUE INTERESANTE, MUAAA
estoy muy deacuardo contigo…. besos
Great personal stories Peggy, Richard & Madison. I fell in love for the 1st time when i was 26 and it was love at 1st sight. I was sitting with my friend Matt when i saw this beautiful girl, Perrine that looked like an Angel walking up the outdoor stairs of a restaurant. We had a very intense relationship for 3 months until she broke up with me to go back to her x-boyfriend (i called him the devil). It took me 9 months to get over the feelings i had for her and the rejection i felt. I few years later, we met again and ‘hooked up’ but by that point i was over her. I guess the only point is that maybe love at 1st sight is a little like cocaine where you have that initial high but you need the 2nd part (maybe more important??) which are a similar value system and things you have in common. Then again, I’m 36 and single, so what do i know ;) I’m looking for that ‘spark/chemistry’ and the 2nd part. Until then, the search goes on :D
Roman, you are brave !!!! pleace.. tell me how you do that..
And when you lost your lvne and are heart broken, then the beloved becomes your Zahir, according to your book”The Zahir”, if I’m not wrong!!!!
Nice comment ;)! According to Paulo Coelho in the book, ”The Zahir” what exactly does Zahir mean? And do you think that loosing the lost one and him becoming the Zahir could be an important trigger for the evolution of your soul?
If it takes 1/5 of a second to fall in love; how long would be the duration? How long does it take to fall out of love?
Even less than a split of a second…
LOVE…is such a complicated matter.
No amount of science or experience can fully explai this phenomenon.
Not entirely related to the post, but still, it’s the impressive story of a man who loved life too much to let it go, an incredible man with such unearthly strength…
http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/programmes/2010/11/101118_outlook_cut_off_arm.shtml
i simply cant believe ths neither expect from any matured or sensible man .. relations work when u have mutual respect n understanding n dats what change a relation into Bond…
u cant like a person in 1/5 secs even, n how can u fell in love with him/her even u dont know the mains n basics about :-/ its quite weird
now that is a statement speaking souly from your own experience, you are actually saying you cannot fall in love in 11/5 of a sec…..there are many of us that can, it does not mean it will last, but it can and does sometimes, I know people who met and fell in love and got married withing 24 hours and 20 years later they are still in love…on the other hand, I dated a man for 3 years, married him and six years later we had been married three years to long
Perhaps, it is the most wonderful thing that can happen to you. It makes you lose your heart and mind within seconds. Love is a very strong emotion which, sometimes, is even impossible to control. Love at first sight can happen anywhere, anytime. Others do not believe that it can be real simply because they did not experience it. May say it is just a passion or lust that attract us and refuse to believe in it. It can be from the moment you raise your head and eyes are met, you would know that you are looking at the person of your dream. It can happen!
I fell in love ones!!! It can happen, after 18 years i can’t get over it
Yes, it can happen. I was 26 and married at a seminar abroad. I fell in love with a guy. Very intensive emotion with full chemistry. (I did not eat anything for the rest of the time.) We had to say farewell. This moment has broken my heart. After some years we met, and we went on loving each other for years. Then distance separated us again. But I still feel the same and now I am over 40. I know where he is, and there is still some connections between us even if it is very rare. It (he) is like a place in my mind where the sun always shines.
YO ESTOY DE ACUERDO CON EL COMENTARIO DE RIMA. PUES MI ENAMORAMIENTO FUE A PRIMERA VISTA Y CON MUCHA SUERTE PUES YA TENGO CASI 52 ANOS DE CASADO Y DIOS A BENDECIDO NUESTRO HOGAR CON CINCO HIJOS, DOCE NIETOS Y YA DOS LINDAS BISNIETECITAS. MI ESPOSA Y YO SOMOS FELICES.
**Understanding love will not make it better or worst, but such knowledge could be a way of satisfying our curiosity about it and could be applied to improve our love experiences.**
Dear Paulo Coelho,
“Why people don’t accept love as it is, full of agonies and extasies, a misterious force that keeps the universe together?
But no, even for love there is a need for explanations…”
People, and in particular scientists, look for “explanations” for love for the same reasons they look for explanations (try to understand) all the other phenomena in and around us:
1) Curiosity – people are curious and look for understanding as a way to satisfy that curiosity. And it’s evident there is many people curious about love.
2) Utility – by understanding how things work we can use (and we have been using) that knowledge to improve our life quality. And it’s also evident that love is important in people’s lives.
Scientific knowledge is neither good or bad, it is its applications that can be for the good or for the bad.
**So, understanding love will not make it better or worst, but such knowledge could be a way of satisfying our curiosity about it and could be applied to improve our love experiences.**
One final comment:
We are all free to have our personal opinions. Such that you can even have your one opinion/definition of love like: “full of agonies and extasies, a misterious force that keeps the universe together”. But because we are all free to have our opinions, we are also free to not “accept” another person’s opinions. So, other people may have a personal opinion/definition about love different from yours.
Now, one of the essential features of science is that it is about facts, not opinions. There is an universal way of doing science, the scientific method. Therefore its findings are universal and not a matter of personal opinion. Another of the essential features of science is that all its findings can be improved or even refuted/replaced by a better scientific explanation. So, if one think a scientific explanation is incomplete/wrong then one needs to prove it by finding a better scientific explanation (always using the scientific method).
Of course the World is not just about science, but we should be aware when we are talking about scientific facts or about personal opinions.
Best wishes,
Carlos Afonso
Very nice, Carlos!
l0l:D)) that’s why i often said that falling in love equally having serious mental disease after all…hahaa…anyway, nice research, thank you.
…like a deep connection that knocks you down and re-visit and all you can do is look at it with open-eye and wonder.
Magic g ame!
C’est un bon jeu..
“the feeling is the same as using cocaine”
..like a deep connection that knocks you down and re-visit and all you can do is look at it with open-eye and wonder.
Magic g ame!
I think that searching about those things is useless, if we know what happens with our brain and our heart and try to explain all those things they’ll lose all their magic, I think sometimes it is better not to know some things…Personally I wouldn’t like to know what my brain and my heart do when I fall in love, I’d rather feel it
I second that…..Thank you
I strongly agree! I’d rather really cherish it than explain it…hahah!=)) I think GOD gives us LOVE that is meant for us to just enjoy!
wow! well explained! id rather believe you than the research implemented by the professor!
Love this post and agree whole-heartedly. I also believe that forming a meaningful friendship takes about the same time as falling in love … you know instantly where that soul connection lies and the brain acts on it immediately. It’s beautiful being open and available to this.
thank everything there is, that apparently love is a whole-body experience – heart and brain play their roles in an all-encompassing physical ‘knowledge’- the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. maybe that’s why an attempt to struggle against this overwhelming experience just does not work. better to run with this beautiful thing, be with it for the time which is given to us.
realmente cierto, el amor esta en todo nuestro ser, recorre todos nuestros sentidos……nos hace mas sensibles a la vida y vemos todo de una manera mas bonita….
True……… What is missing here is the role of the Soul…….!
well its vry intrstin article…………bt 4 me a person cnt help…whetr its brain or hrt……..its alwaz by chance….luv luv
MISLEADING TITLE! “Falling in love takes a fifth of a second” – the “study”, which is a review article, does not say anything about the time it takes to fall in love! It (only) studies people already in love, with a partner, and its main findings are that “different types of love involve distinct cerebral networks, including those for higher cognitive functions such as social cognition and bodily self-representation”.
In particular for passionate love it says: “Passionate love activates specific cortical areas with respect to the other types of love. Notably, passionate love recruits brain areas mediating complex cognitive functions, such as body image, self-representation, attention, and social cognition.”
You can read the article here:
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1743-6109.2010.01999.x/full
(Ortigue S, Bianchi-Demicheli F, Patel N, Frum C, and Lewis JW. Neuroimaging of love: fMRI meta-analysis evidence toward new perspectives in sexual medicine. J Sex Med 2010;7:3541–3552.)
I read the article and found these quotes are a good summary:
- “In addition, the present analysis newly demonstrated that different types of love involve distinct cerebral networks inside and outside the dopaminergic-rich brain network.”
- “Interestingly, the present fMRI results demonstrate that love not only recruits subcortical dopaminergic brain areas, but also activates higher-order cortical brain areas. This reinforces the fact that love is more than a basic emotion. Love also involves cognition.”
- “Passionate love activates specific cortical areas with respect to the other types of love. Notably, passionate love recruits brain areas mediating complex cognitive functions, such as body image, self-representation, attention, and social cognition. Interestingly, the presentation of explicit stimuli vs. implicit stimuli led to different cortical activation, notably in the angular gyrus (i.e., a brain area that mediates cognitive functions related to the perception/representation of one’s self, which is a critical function with respect to the psychological model of self-expansion of love [80,89]). This suggests that this activation of this brain area might occur mostly at an implicit level. Further studies need to be done to better understand the temporal dynamics of the differential brain mechanisms that take place during the visual presentation of real beloved stimuli in comparison with the visual presentation of conditioned beloved stimuli.”
And here is the article’s original ABSTRACT/SUMMARY:
- Introduction. Brain imaging is becoming a powerful tool in the study of human cerebral functions related to close personal relationships. Outside of subcortical structures traditionally thought to be involved in reward-related systems, a wide range of neuroimaging studies in relationship science indicate a prominent role for different cortical networks and cognitive factors. Thus, the field needs a better anatomical/network/whole-brain model to help translate scientific knowledge from lab bench to clinical models and ultimately to the patients suffering from disorders associated with love and couple relationships.
- Aim. The aim of the present review is to provide a review across wide range of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies to critically identify the cortical networks associated with passionate love, and to compare and contrast it with other types of love (such as maternal love and unconditional love for persons with intellectual disabilities).
- Methods. Retrospective review of pertinent neuroimaging literature.
- Main Outcome Measures. Review of published literature on fMRI studies of love illustrating brain regions associated with different forms of love.
- Results. Although all fMRI studies of love point to the subcortical dopaminergic reward-related brain systems (involving dopamine and oxytocin receptors) for motivating individuals in pair-bonding, the present meta-analysis newly demonstrated that different types of love involve distinct cerebral networks, including those for higher cognitive functions such as social cognition and bodily self-representation.
- Conclusions. These metaresults provide the first stages of a global neuroanatomical model of cortical networks involved in emotions related to different aspects of love. Developing this model in future studies should be helpful for advancing clinical approaches helpful in sexual medicine and couple therapy.

Dear Paul,
I’m a young doctor, and I found this kind of research absolutely useless. But they are good spots for researchers that found, through them, an easy way to celebrity!
The fact that there is a need to explain even LOVE, the force that keeps the universe together, is symbolic of a society, our society, that believe that everything could be caged
in the realm of rational!
Where, instead, the essence of the world is so etheric, and poetic, and everything less then rational!
Luckily!
The Sword in the Stone, is the cartoon I like more. And Merlin the Magicians gives in it
the most beautiful explanation i never heard about love:
“Love is a very powerful force. No kind of magic that can something on it!”
Hugs to the Mago de Rio,
Andrea
Merlin is Le Roy! :)
I love you. xx
Rightly said. thank you
