# Brain freeze! # | 0:06:52 | 0:06:53 | |
Hello, everyone and welcome to Brain Freeze. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
It's time to reveal... | 0:06:56 | 0:06:57 | |
And today, we're asking what happens | 0:07:00 | 0:07:02 | |
when we fall in love? | 0:07:02 | 0:07:03 | |
Well, Dr Knowles, I happen to be | 0:07:03 | 0:07:05 | |
an expert in matters of the heart. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
Actually, Professor, | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
we don't love with our hearts, we love with our brains. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:11 | |
You wha...? | 0:07:11 | 0:07:13 | |
When we fall in love, a chemical called dopamine | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
floods the part of our brain that processes pleasure. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
This gives us such a rush that it makes us literally crave | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
the other person. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:22 | |
However, we also experience a spike | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
in a hormone called adrenaline, | 0:07:24 | 0:07:26 | |
and this has some... Shall we say, noticeable physical effects. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:30 | |
Your mouth dries out, your heart starts to race, | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
your palms get all sweaty... | 0:07:33 | 0:07:34 | |
'Tis fierce embarrassing, really. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:36 | |
It can be, Professor. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
But before we go on, we need to take a short break. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
And we are clear! | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
So, Colin. What have you got planned for later? | 0:07:44 | 0:07:46 | |
Well, I think classic is the way to go, Doctor - flowers, chocolates, | 0:07:46 | 0:07:50 | |
a nice meal, some music. Maybe poetry... | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
Whoa! Slow down, Colin. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
Don't forget to relax and be yourself too. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
HE SIGHS | 0:07:57 | 0:07:58 | |
You're right, Doctor - just be myself. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
What could possibly go wrong? | 0:08:01 | 0:08:03 | |

Hey, Colin... | 0:08:09 | 0:08:10 | |
Did I mention that my perfume has secret powers? | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
HE CHOKES | 0:08:13 | 0:08:15 | |
Oh, McCork, get away from me! | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
Places, everyone! | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
This just in from Rosalind. Is it true that love is blind? | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
Well, some studies have shown that love does suppress | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
the part of our brain | 0:08:27 | 0:08:28 | |
which judges how nice people really are. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:30 | |
And if the person you love doesn't love you back, it can cause stress, | 0:08:30 | 0:08:34 | |
disturb your sleep and put you in a real bad mood. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:38 | |
So why do we bother with love at all? | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
Well, love can go either way. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:42 | |
Let's say the other person DOES like you | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
and you show each other affection. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
The cuddle hormone, oxytocin, | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
is gradually released in your brain, giving you a warm, | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
fuzzy feeling that helps with trust and bonding. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
It's enough to make you sick, isn't it? | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
Anyway, I think it's time to wrap this one up. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
So, as you've seen, we understand a little bit about what | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
happens in our brains when we fall in love. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
But the old romantic in me knows that there's something | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
a little bit more mysterious to it than that. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
It's true, science can't explain everything | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
and we're still not entirely sure | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
why we really fall for the people we do. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
But the important thing is to have fun and not to overthink it. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:22 | |
See you next time, folks! | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
-And that's a wrap! -Wow, look at you, Colin. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
Nothing is going to stop me now. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:31 | |
Wish me luck, everybody! | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
Just a little top-up before you go, Colin. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
No, stop it, McCork! | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
I told you, it has special powers. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
I love you, McCork. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
What the...?! | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
-I love you, McCork. -Go away. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
-Get back! -I love you... -Get off me! -I love you. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:51 | |
Go away, will you? Get off! | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
I guess it must be true after all - | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
love IS blind! | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
