Voice of America interviews Lucy Brown, Ph.D., about her research demonstrating that feelings of intense love activate the reward centers in the brain, the same areas associated with the desire for food, water and even cocaine addiction. Dr. Brown is clinical professor in the Saul R. Korey Department of Neurology and professor in the Dominick P. Purpura Department of Neuroscience.
