Daily TED Talk – Helen Fisher on the Brain and Love

By on February 14, 2010

All week I’ve been posting a favorite brain-related TED video each day. This is the last TED talk I’ll post for now- I sincerely hope you’ve enjoyed them and learned from watching them. We’ll be sure to check the videos for TED 2010, which just concluded, and post any interesting neuroscience-related ones we find.

Since today is Valentine’s Day, I’ve selected this talk from TED 2008. Anthropologist Helen Fisher conducted MRI studies on the brains of some people in love, and some who had just been dumped (ouch!) to try to unlock some of the neurological mysteries of romance. Enjoy!
