[VIDEO] Sophie Scott - Laughter: Love, Joy, and Language (TEDTalks)

Laughter, an expression of amusement and joy, is found in many mammals and associated with tickling, play and conversation at distinct stages in our lives. Neurally, our brains are primed to echo laughter, and this response is stronger in people with keener ears for laughter. This makes laughter a vital social emotion which we use skillfully to make and maintain social bonds.

It’s All Numbers Up Here: Love and Decision Making

It’s All Numbers Up Here:  Love and Decision Making | Science News | Scoop.it

Many of the brain areas implicated in the neuroimaging studies of love also light up during gambling tasks. Oxytocin, the so-called “cuddle chemical,” is measured almost as often in economic games as it is in pair-bonding studies. Both love and money offer the promise of great reward—but also the potential of overwhelming risks. Are the overlaps coincidence? Could making a decision to open your heart (or your bed) to another person be the same as deciding whether or not put $50 on black? It’s not hard to make an argument in either direction from a scientific perspective.
