Dr. Lucy Brown, above, and Dr. Helen Fisher, left, analyzed 2,500 brain images from 17 college students in the throes of new love - a drive, Dr. Fisher said, that "can be stronger than the will to live."
American Psychological Society
A new study suggests that an area of the brain known as the caudate is associated with passion.

So, that explains everything! I was insane when I fell in love with a liberal and dated him for 3 years. ;-)

Love is very interesting. And yes, it does seem akin to madness ....in fact it seems exactly like madness. A rabid giggling raving singing soaring euphoric ecstasy of madness. And I love it.

When they say "first-love", are they talking about infatuation or lust?

Unbeknowst to me I was dating a married man. When I found out, we parted ways but I was really crushhed to find out it was all a lie. I had a really bad facial acne condition for two years and since I've found someone who really does love me and isn't a pathological liar, it's disappeared. Glad I didn't spend the $1000 a doctor was going to charge me to clean up my face.
