Love Facts: Too much?

Our human brains also enable us to feel intensely. The culprit is not our heart, but rather, our brain.

The human amygdala, an almond-shaped region on the side of the head beneath the cortex, is more than twice the size of the amygdala in apes. This brain region plays a central role in generating fear, rage, aversion, and aggression; parts produce pleasure, too. With this brain capacity for generating strong, often violent emotions, we humans have the ability to link our drive to love with an enormous

collection of feelings.
