Show Notes

Today in Episode 91 of The People's Scientist podcast, I do a special Valentine's Day episode and talk about the neuroscience of love. Love is a complex phenomenon that can be our greatest muse and motivation. Can something this complex be characterized scientifically? Well in today's episode I talk about the role of different brain regions, molecules, and clinical trials involving oxytocin nasal sprays to enhance romantic feelings. Tune in for all these details!
