Love, Chocolate and Prairie Voles: The Neuroscience of Pleasure and Love with Larry Sherman, PhD, Professor, Division of Neuroscience at OHSU – 8:45pm
Is the brain chemistry behind our love for chocolate equivalent to that which drives infatuation with a new lover, the love of a particular song, or addiction? How does the brain sort out pleasure and discomfort? What drives our decisions to stay with one person for life or go from one lover to another, never settling down? Neuroscientist Dr. Larry Sherman will focus on these and other questions that reveal much about how neurochemical changes can have major effects on our behaviors—including how we love, what we love and who we love.
