TEDTalks. Helen Fisher, The Brain in Love

Description

Anthropologist Helen Fisher studies gender differences and the evolution of human emotions, but she may be best known as an expert on romantic love. Her beautifully penned books - including Anatomy of Love and Why We Love - lay bare the mysteries of our most treasured emotion. In this TEDTalk, Fisher describes how she and her research team took MRIs of people in love - as well as people who had just been dumped - to learn more about our very real, very physical need for passion.
