Scientists at Aalto University have recently distinguished between 6 types of love our brains respond to:

  • Parental love
  • Romantic love
  • Love for a friend
  • Love for a pet
  • Love for nature
  • Love for a stranger

Thorough MRI scans revealed how people react to different sources of affection and admiration. And naturally, the love for one’s child triggered the strongest brain activity. Romantic love caused the second most intense brain reaction.

Interestingly, the study concluded that pets are good not just for your brain, but for your overall health too!
