Helen Fisher has done extraordinary research into the neuroscience and endocrine chemistry of the experience of love.
I highly recommend her book Why We Love.
This talk is a great introduction to her work:

I'm fascinated by the topic, but the breathlessness and shrillness of her voice (is she nervous speaking in front of this audience) is making it very difficult for me to finish the first video.
Can you recommend a page anywhere that summarizes her findings after studying these three groups of people that the mentions in the beginning of the video?
haha - here.
Thanks for these wonderful resources! Perhaps the scientist herself is navigating some of the uncomfortable waters she researches.
well in 30 years of researching it and in drawing on love poetry from around the world as part of her exploration she says she still makes the same mistakes and that the three brain systems of lust, love and attachment aren't going anywhere…
The human “body” is amazing…
Our challenge is to understand each other….
awesome….
Loved the talk…appreciate you sharing :)
