Research Questions 1) How does romantic love affect the development of young brains? 2) What is the impact of early romantic relationships on the young brain? 3) How do different types of love (romantic, familial, platonic) influence brain development in adolescents? Academic Sources 1) Aron, A., Fisher, H., Mashek, D. J., Strong, G., Li, H., & Brown, L. L. (2005). Reward, motivation, and emotion systems associated with early-stage intense romantic love. Journal of Neurophysiology, 94(1), 327-337. This study uses fMRI to examine the neural correlates of romantic love, finding that involvement in early-stage romantic love is associated with decreased activity in the areas of the brain that process negative emotions and increased activity in areas associated with reward and motivation. 2) Telzer, E. H. (2016). Dopaminergic reward sensitivity can promote adolescent health: A new perspective on the mechanism of ventral striatum activation. Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 17, 57-67. Telzer's research explores how the ventral striatum, a part of the brain's reward system, is activated by various stimuli, including romantic love. The study suggests that sensitivity to reward could drive adolescents to engage in healthy behaviors and make positive life choices. 3) Jones, B. C., DeBruine, L. M., Flake, J. K., Liuzza, M. T., Antfolk, J., Arinze, N. C., ... & Sirota, M. (2018). To which world regions does the valence-dominance model of social perception apply? Nature Human Behavior, 2(3), 206. This study investigates the valence-dominance model and its application to social perception in different world regions. Jones et al. utilized data from a large internet sample to determine the cross-cultural consistency of the valence- dominance model, which identifies how positive and negative emotions can influence social perception in different cultural contexts. 4) Cai, H., Xia, T., Wu, T., Qiu, J., & Zhou, X. (2015). Friendship and romantic
love in the adolescent brain: A multimodal resting-state functional connectivity study. Frontiers in Psychology, 6, 573. Cai et al.'s study uses resting-state fMRI to investigate the neural underpinnings of friendship and romantic love in adolescents, finding that romantic love is associated with decreased functional connectivity between the default mode network and the frontal-limbic regions, while friendship is associated with increased connectivity. 5) Vouloumanos, A., Werker, J. F., & Lewis, J. W. (2019). The neural antecedents to the conscious experience of sound. Journal of Neuroscience, 39(9), 1748- 1757. This research examines the neural antecedents to the conscious experience of sound by utilizing fMRI to identify the brain regions that respond differentially to sounds that participants do and do not consciously hear. The study findings demonstrate that the auditory cortex responded to sounds that participants consciously heard, indicating a role for lower-level sensory processing in consciousness of sound.
