When people say love is complicated, they don't realize how right they are. Most scientists refer to love as a basic emotion, but in Ortigue's study, she and her colleagues found that 12 areas of the brain work together to release many chemicals and hormones that induce the feeling of love as early as 0.2 seconds of visual contact. Among these chemicals are dopamine, oxytocin, adrenaline, and vasopressin---all chemicals previously associated with love and other highly complicated processes in the brain and mixed together are thought as a love potion.
