will you still need me, will you still feed me, when i'm 64?
read another one of those popular science lite articles that people trot out at parties! this time, stay abreast of the latest cutting edge research on love, in which the author compares his brain in an fmri while looking first at pictures of his wife, then at angelina jolie. winningly, the author is more attracted to his wife.
can't resist a bit of commentary here...i'm all for measuring brain chemicals. but it seems a bit silly to label them the cause of attraction, commitment, and everything else - the presence of chemicals is itself caused by something else, and at some point you may end up needing to invoke human volition and personal choices.
