這篇只是個"新聞"而已，連是否真有這項研究都憑記者的一張嘴和一支筆， 以下這個網站可以試著去尋找是否真有這項研究成果發表。 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez 方才我有試著搜尋，但是想不出適合的關鍵字， 隨便打幾個之後找不到，因此失敗收場。 只是想要特別說的是，如果要評論一項"研究"，不應該是靠"新聞"來逕行評論， 畢竟新聞報導出來的內容往往和真正該項研究的目的與發現會差距很大， 所以貴版的評論實際上只針對了該新聞，連該項研究是否存在都未知。 不過剛剛發現個有趣的研究，給大家看看摘要。 (其實是數月前我老闆就有看到分享給大家欣賞的) FEBS Lett. 2007 Jun 12;581(14):2575-9. Epub 2007 May 8. Links The neurobiology of love. Zeki S. University College, Department of Anatomy, London, UK. [email protected] Romantic and maternal love are highly rewarding experiences. Both are linked to the perpetuation of the species and therefore have a closely linked biological function of crucial evolutionary importance. The newly developed ability to study the neural correlates of subjective mental states with brain imaging techniques has allowed neurobiologists to learn something about the neural bases of both romantic and maternal love. Both types of attachment activate regions specific to each, as well as overlapping regions in the brain's reward system that coincide with areas rich in oxytocin and vasopressin receptors. Both deactivate a common set of regions associated with negative emotions, social judgment and 'mentalizing' that is, the assessment of other people's intentions and emotions. Human attachment seems therefore to employ a push-pull mechanism that overcomes social distance by deactivating networks used for critical social assessment and negative emotions, while it bonds individuals through the involvement of the reward circuitry, explaining the power of love to motivate and exhilarate. Yet the biological study of love, and especially romantic love, must go beyond and look for biological insights that can be derived from studying the world literature of love, and thus bring the output of the humanities into its orbit. -- 別叫我翻譯！ --
