Given the limited availability of bibliometric and visual analysis on the topic of
romantic love, the primary objective of the current study is to fill this gap by
conducting a comprehensive visual analysis of relevant literature. Through this�…

Functional imaging studies and clinical evidence indicate that cortical areas relevant
to social cognition are closely integrated with evolutionarily conserved basal
forebrain structures and neighboring regions, enabling human attachment and�…

For 25 years, the predominant evolutionary theory of romantic love has been Fisher's
theory of independent emotion systems. That theory suggests that sex drive, romantic
attraction (romantic love), and attachment are associated with distinct�…

Infant stimuli elicit widespread neural and behavioral response in human adults, and
such massive allocation of resources attests to the evolutionary significance of the
primary attachment. Here, we examined whether attachment reminders also trigger�…

Death of a loved one is recognized as one of life's greatest stresses, and 10%–20%
of bereaved individuals will experience a complicated or prolonged grieving period
that is characterized by intense yearning for the deceased. The monogamous prairie�…

Historical evidence from stimulation and lesion studies in animals and humans
demonstrated a close association between the hypothalamus and typical and
atypical socioemotional behavior. A central hypothalamic contribution to regulation of�…

Sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) is a biological trait associated with heightened
sensitivity and responsivity to the environment. One important question is how those
with the trait perceive their environments, thus giving rise to differential responses�…

Pair bonding builds on preexisting dopamine connectivity to help form and maintain
the bond. The involvement of dopaminergic pathways in pair bonding has stimulated
research linking pair bonds to other dopamine-dependent processes, like addiction�…

Emotions are fundamental to social interaction and deeply intertwined with
interpersonal dynamics, especially in romantic relationships. Although the neural
basis of interaction processes in romance has been widely explored, the underlying�…

Background Neurodegeneration is progressive cell loss in specific neuronal
populations, often resulting in clinical consequences with significant medical,
societal, and economic implications. Because of its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory�…
