Que se passe-t-il donc dans la tête d’un Homo sapiens lorsqu’une passion amoureuse l’entraîne dans la déraison et les extravagances? Ou bien lorsqu’une animosité en lui se transforme en sentiment de haine ? Les neurosciences nous éclairent maintenant très bien sur ces deux pulsions – amour, haine – qui sont, l’une et l’autre, des rouages essentiels à notre survie. Elles constituent des processus neuronaux ancestraux encore sollicités et restés très actifs.

Quando all'inizio di una storia d'amore il nostro cuore batte all'impazzata, in realtà è il cervello, con le sue componenti chimiche, a scatenare quell'insieme di emozioni e di euforia. Ma anche quando l'amore finisce le aree cerebrali hanno un ruolo nella disperazione che subentra dopo la rottura. Nei tanti modi di amare, a cominciare da quello così differente tra donne e uomini, sono allora i neurotrasmettitori, i geni, o i fattori relazionali, i responsabili di tanta diversità? Qui si parla di rapporti di coppia, del loro nascere e mutare nel tempo, di crisi e infedeltà.
