Trang 1Romantic love lasts only a year
Italian scientists have found that the chemical in the brain which makes us romantic
disappears over a year They say this explains why the happy, wonderful and
head-over-heels feelings we experience at the start of a relationship do not last forever
Researchers discovered that levels of a chemical called Nerve Growth Factor (NGF)
greatly increase when a person first falls in love NGF comes from the rush of
adrenalin that occurs when new love blossoms The chemical fades over a year or
so after people become more secure in a relationship.
Research leader Dr Enzo Emanuele reported: “We have demonstrated for the first
time that…levels of NGF are elevated among people in love.” His team analyzed 58 volunteers who had recently fallen in love The researchers compared NGF in this group with those in people who were single or in steady relationships They found
increased levels of NGF in the new romantics They also said NGF caused sweaty
palms and butterflies in stomachs, and perhaps made young men buy red roses and
candlelit dinners.
