Researchers at Stanford University did a studied the relation between love and drugs. They founded that the love has similar effects that drugs, for example, in the reduction of the pain. In the research, men and women saw the photograph of their loved person while they received a little painful stimulus. At the same time their brain was being analyzed with a scanner by a resonance magnetic. The result was that the feelings of love act as a painkiller, because the scanner shows that the zones of their brains that were activated during the experiment were the same that the zones activated by cocaine or morphine.
In the same way, these researchers investigated whether the simple distraction had the same effect. In this experiment, the result was similar than the previous, however, the zones activated in the brain was different. According with Jarred Younger, the brain pthways leading to pain relief were mostly cognitive. But the love, is much associated with reward centres.

Good Deborah,
ResponderEliminarRemember, for comparatives use "than". "Love has a similar effect than drugs"
Same problem, "because the scanner shows that the zones of their brains that were activated during the experiment were the same (that) THAN the zones activated by cocaine or morphine
"magnetic resonance"?
And, subject-verb agreement: "The zones activated in the brain WERE..."
finally, "love is much MORE associated with reward centres."
