"He does not love me the same", "I will never forget him", "he is incapable of loving" ... Are these phrases familiar? It is said that love is the same for everyone; However, the genetics of our brain reveals something else and gives you the answer of why men and women love differently.

Women have a 30% larger corpus callosum than men, which allows greater interaction between the left and right hemispheres resulting in a deeper and longer attachment process.

In the case of males, the cerebral amygdala is 80% larger, which makes them more violent and protective.

In them, the hypothalamus, especially the area called NIHA, is between 10% to 12% higher than the female, and this is precisely what promotes the process of detachment, promiscuity and superficiality of men.

However, for the Head of Neurobiology of the National Institute of Psychiatry, Eduardo Calixto, these anatomical differences should not be a reason for discouragement for couples in love, but a way to understand that in a relationship, male and female, are complementary to each other.

Is there a unique love?

According to the specialist Calixto, when the infatuation process begins nine areas of the brain are activated, for men and women, only with the difference that in the former this mechanism is different in terms of order and intensity.

Apart from that, falling in love lasts only three years, after this period the relationship enters a phase called "compassionate love", in which the members know each other more deeply without the influence of the hormones.

However, people can fall in love up to seven times with the same intensity as the first time. The only difference is that your brain learns from every experience.

So, what do you expect to find love?
