Specialists from different universities explain the complexity that falling in love for the first time causes in the brain and body in general.
Songs, movies, soap operas and an entire romantic culture taught us that first love is impossible to forgetsomething that was commonly installed in the social imagination and that today is supported by science thanks to the research of neuroscience specialist Cristina Aguillón Solís.
The anthropologist at Rutgers University, New Jersey, Helen Fisher, also indicated that when we feel the absence of the person we love, it arises abstinence syndrome that the body was accustomed to an amount of dopamine that it does not have now.
Within this context, the research of Ayala Malach Pines, from the Medical School for International Health of Ben Gurion, Israel, is added, who assures that When women fall in love they automatically begin to secrete dopamine and they activate part of the brain that they share with memory and recollection.

Why it is so difficult to forget your first love, according to science
Neuroscience specialist Cristina Aguillón Solís explained that first love is impossible to forget because in the deepest part of our brain we find the limbic systemwhich is in charge of our emotions and is where love is also born.
When we fall in love for the first time, that pleasant sensation is recorded in the hippocampus. And not only the feeling or the infatuation is recorded, but also the places, what was experienced, the nostalgia. It’s similar to when your mom made you eat and you remember the aroma of the food. Our brain tends to stay with that which is highly emotional and first love is rich in that.
