What happens in your brain when they cheat you, according to science

It turns out that having a partner that deceives us not only impacts our feelings; but also has both short and long term consequences in the chemistry of our brain .It affects everything, from the type of initial pain we experience, to the way we evaluate future partners.The neurological impact of the dwarf on the brain cannot help us recover, but it is clear that it is something with serious consequences for people whose partners commit infidelities.

What happens in your brain when you get cheated, is fatal according to science

The interaction between emotional experiences and physical consequences is an area of ​​growing scientific interest For centuries, we have seen that we experience happiness and pain as something eternal and separate from the body (and, in many cases, therefore less "real" or "legit").But little by little we are building a different map of emotions in the 21st century, which among other things, shows how the sentimental rejection stimulates the release of specific hormonal chemicals .Here are five types of reactions from our brain to infidelity.

1.Experience physical pain

This is not specifically about infidelity; rather, any type of anguish can induce pain.It turns out that ruptures are emotionally and physically painful, because they activate the parts of our brain that react to physical discomfort.

two.It has different reactions depending on gender.

3.A disenchantment affects you like leaving any addiction

When our brain is cheated reacts as if we had suddenly stopped a substance to which we have developed an intense addiction.Love is, as the brain, as addictive as cocaine.As the University of California at Berkeley explains, the experience of love, especially in its early intense stages, it follows the same reward pathways in the brain as the fever of an addictive substance .If that substance is withdrawn, the body reacts in the same way as it would if we wanted to quit nicotine.

4.Can develop thoughts and obsessions

Women in particular, it seems, are likely to respond to issues with a psychological practice called "rumination." Today, psychology defines it as " the tendency to think repetitively about the causes, factors of the situation, and the consequences of one's negative emotional experience. «Did it happen to you?

5.Make better decisions

A recently published study argues that at less, it helps us learn about how we make our choices."The choice of couple" is one of the foundations of life as a living organism; It is the way we decide who to share and live with.And people who have gone through infidelity seem to refine their decisions. So even if being cheated is regrettable, at least it is educational.
