It was not just the story of a fairy tale if there are couples who can feel fall in love forever. Research conducted Bianca Acevedo and Arthur Aron of Stony Brook University, proved through brain scans.
They compared the neural correlation in individuals who had long been married and those who have just fallen in love. As a result, there are similarities in brain activity associated with motivation, reward and desire of each partner.
The team used magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to scan the brain 10 women and seven men. They claim to still fall in love with her partner after more than 21 years of marriage.
"We found there is a clear similarity between someone who is in a relationship of love long enough and you just fall in love," Aron said, as quoted by the Times of India.
Conclusions are based on areas of the brain that regulates reward and motivation on the brain. The area is part of the dopamine ventral tegmental area (VTA).
"In the current study, VTA showed a large response in imaging long-term partner, compared with close friends or other people's faces," said Aron.
Acevedo and Aaron explains brain imaging data on the couple who have long lived together indicate reward value associated with long-term partner. It is quite possible is maintained, and much like the growth of new love.
In addition, research results support the theory that reveals that there may be specific brain mechanisms that make romantic love experienced sustained in some long-term relationship.
