The power of love

Happy Valentines Day!

Interesting new research highlighted in this weekends Sunday Times.
which "proves" that love is surprisingly blind!

Scans of lovers brain show they lose their critical faculties when smitten making
them less able to spot flaws.

"The scanning shows that love activates specific regions in the reward system of the brain, while reducing activity in the systems involved in making negative judgements," said Professor Semir Zeki of University College London.

Imagine a world where we could see only positive in others - the power of love.
