But now researchers are showing that heartbreak produces many of the same physical symptoms as cocaine withdrawal.</span><br /> <div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 5px;"> For a study recently published in the <em>Journal of Neurophysiology</em>, researchers scanned the brains of people who had recently been dumped. They found the areas of the brain that were activated were the same as in those who are withdrawing from cocaine.</div> <div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 5px;"> The study used MRIs to record the brain activity of 15 university-aged women and men who had recently been dumped by their long-term partners and who described themselves as still being "absolutely and very intensely in love."</div> <div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 5px;"> The participants' brains were scanned as they looked at images of their lost loves. Then each was shown a "neutral" image of a casual acquaintance for comparison purposes.</div> <div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 5px;"> Researchers found that looking at photos of former partners stimulated several key areas of participants' brains much more than viewing pictures of "neutral" people.</div> <div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 5px;"> Specifically, the nucleus accumbens and prefrontal cortex (related to intense addiction to cocaine and cigarettes) were activated, as were the ventral tegmental area (related to feelings of romantic love), and the insular cortex and the anterior cingulate (related to physical pain).</div> <div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 5px;"> Study author and clinical professor of neuroscience at Albert Einstein College of Medicine Dr. Lucy Brown says romantic love can offer the same high as cocaine, and create similar feeling of withdrawal when the reward is withdrawn. But she notes that while romantic love and cocaine can be addictive, it's natural to get addicted to love.</div> <div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 5px;"> "An interesting perspective is that romantic love is the natural, original addiction. Nature gave us this addiction, and in a sense we need it. It protects us," she told CTV's Canada AM Monday from New York.</div> <div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 5px;"> She also notes that while breaking an addiction to a romantic love is hard, it can be done.</div> <div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 5px;"> "You have to let the unconscious processes in your brain help you to heal. Time will change things," she said.</div> <div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 5px;"> "And we can take a lesson from people who are recovering from cocaine addition and go to support groups: talk to people who are supportive, people who are sympathetic and understand. Talk about it. Think about what was good about the relationship and what was bad about it. And know that nature has given you these symptoms the next time."</div> <div class="zemanta-related" style="clear: both; margin-top: 20px; overflow: hidden;"> <h4 class="zemanta-related-title"> Related articles</h4> <ul class="zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image" style="margin: 0;

I believe true abundance is not measured by what you have; rather, it is measured by what you give.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">In our culture, it seems that most people are caught up in their "need for greed." Perhaps this is why so many people struggle to find their happiness, and why over 25% of the people in our country suffer from anxiety. We live in a culture where we are taught to judge a person based on what they have, rather than on who they are and what they contribute to society.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I was very fortunate to have met a professor that changed my whole way of thinking.
