The song ‘Your love is my drug’ has found a scientific basis, as U.S. researchers claim that it takes as little as fifth of second to fall in love which produces a euphoric state similar to cocaine use.
According to the study, a look of the loved one stimulates 12 different centers of brain to release a rush of ‘feel good’ chemicals such as dopamine, oxytocin, adrenaline, and vasopression.
Since same chemicals are released on taking a dose of cocaine, researchers suggest the feeling of falling in love gives the same high as the intake of drug.
Cocaine is a strong nervous system stimulant that disrupts the functionality of neurotransmitters that convey messages to brain.
