Why do we fall in love, and why with this particular person? What happens in our brain when attraction turns into desire, love and attachment? In this lecture, we will look at love through the eyes of biology, chemistry and evolution — from dopamine and oxytocin to sex, fidelity and some rather embarrassing questions about the human body. We will separate scientific facts from popular myths, without taking the fun out of either. And in the end, we will ask the most important question: if love is really chemistry, does knowing the formula make it any less magical?
