They have found that feelings of love lead to a suppression(抑制)of activity in the areas of the brain controlling critical though
71、t. It seems that once we get close to a person, the brain decides the need to assess their character and personality is reduced. The study, by University College London, is published in NeuroImage.The researchers found that romantic love and maternal(母性的) love the brain. They both suppress neural (神
72、经的) activity associated with critical social assessment of other people and negative emotions. The UCL team scanned the brains of 20 young mothers while they viewed pictures of their own children, children they were acquainted with, and adult friends. The team found that the patters of brain activit
73、y were very similar to those identified in an earlier study looking at the effects of romantic love. Both studies recorded increased activity in parts of the brains reward system. More surprisingly, however, both studies also showed reduced levels of activity in the systems necessary for making nega
74、tive judgments.Lead researcher Dr Andreas Bartels said it was crucial that romantic and maternal love were viewed by the brain in a highly positive way because both were crucial to the perpetuation (永恒) of the species.76Whats the main idea of the passage? ( no more than 10 words)77Fill in the blank
75、in Paragraph Two with proper words. ( no more than 6 words)78Complete the following statement with proper words. ( no more than 6 words) is that both studies found as well there is a decrease in levels of activity in the systems needed for bad judgments.79What happens to our brain when we approach a person we love? ( no more than 15 words )80What does the underlined word both ( Line 2, Paragraph 3) probably refer to?
