科學證實：愛情的感覺如吸食古柯鹼，至少保存20年不壞
一般人的認知都是，愛情的感覺，不可能保存太久。
有人說，愛情只會持續一個月，曖昧的時候最美。
有人說，從陌生到認識，過了一年紀念日之後就是下坡的開始。
有人說結婚是愛情的墳墓。
有人說孩子是愛情的終結者。
有人說七年之癢。
有人說親情就會變成愛情……大家認為，人永遠是「喜新厭舊」的動物，人也是容易幻想而無法接受太多不如先前想像的挑剔者，總之，「愛情」這種東西不會保存太久，愛情過了一陣子就會不見！
這是一般人的認知，這時候，看到電視上老夫老妻白髮斑斑還感情很好，「演的啦！」；在馬路上看到老公公牽著老婆婆，慢慢的過馬路，大家說，那是以前的年代啦！更厲害的愛情分析家，更斬釘截鐵的表示，嗯，那是一種習慣，一種責任，一種親情……總之，很少人會相信老夫老妻還有「愛情」啦！寫了這麼久，只想引出科學家最近做的一則研究，證明了「愛情」真的可以歷久不衰，海枯石爛，至少，平均來看可以撐20年以上。據USA Today昨天一篇文章，紐約州大石溪分校的科學家找到一個「證據」，他們基本上找來10位已婚女性、7位已婚男性當實驗者，這些實驗者參加的條件是，他們必須宣稱和另一半的關係仍非常的好，這些實驗者已結婚的年份不一，17個實驗者的平均已婚年份為21年，現在科學家要來看看他們的大腦，看他們講的「愛情」是不是真有其事？之前，已有另一批科學家做過另一個實驗，作為對照組。當時他們是找來10位女性、7位男性，只是這些人平均只有結婚7個月，這些人會被找進來，也是因為他們說他們「深愛著他們的伴侶」。實驗的內容很簡單，科學家給他們看很多張照片，其中有一張是他們伴侶的照片，科學家用fMRI掃描實驗者的腦部動態，當他們看到這張照片，腦中中段的一個叫「ventral tegmental」區塊，就會有所反應，據說吸食古柯鹼之後也是在此區塊有反應。之前科學家都認為，這區塊的反應只有在「戀愛初期」才有，也就是傳說中的「墜入愛河」感覺。
現在，這群科學家再次對著平均已婚21年的老夫老妻，再做一次這個實驗。結果發現，實驗者的腦中的同樣「ventral tegmental」區塊，也出現了反應。所以科學家的結論是，這是真的。大腦的反應，在科學家的監測儀器下，騙不了人的。愛情是真的，可以撐20年。不過，科學家說，7個月的愛，和20年的愛，還是有點差別。結婚21年的，在一個代表「平靜」(calm)、「止痛」(pain suppression)的區塊的刺激較高，結婚7個月的，則在一個代表「沉迷」(obsession)、「興奮」(anxiety )的區塊的活動程度較高，不過兩者的「墜入愛河」的區塊都有所反應就是了。
這個實驗並不能解釋為何伊能靜會離開哈林，但是可以拿來在伊能靜和哈林吵架的時候，讓他們相信，男女感情要靠彼此努力來維持，不要再對「時間」聳肩、無奈的說：「時間久了感情變淡，沒辦法！」。若努力，愛情的感覺永遠都會在，強度，就是初戀愛的時的那種感覺。科學家已經作過了實驗，這是可以做到的，而且發生在17位已結婚21年的男女的身上，應該不會太困難！科學家已說，會繼續做關於愛情的其他實驗，下一步，我覺得應該做做看，目前這些男女要怎才能保持著戀愛的感覺？謝謝他們先給所有男女一個信心，天長地久的愛情，不是過時又噁心的「神話」，它是真真實實的存在的。

Proof's in the brain scan: Romance doesn't have to fade
The honeymoon doesn't have to be over just because you've been together for years, new research suggests.
Popular wisdom would have it that romance fades over time. But new brain scans of people who say they are still in love after being married for decades are similar to scans of those who have just fallen in love, leading researchers to conclude that long-term relationships can be just as passionate and romantic as new love.
"We're confident it's real," says psychologist Arthur Aron of the State University of New York-Stony Brook, one of the researchers involved in the study. "That's what the brain scans are telling us. People can't fake that."
CHEATIN' HEARTS: Getting reliable data on infidelity isn't easy
MARRIAGE 'CHECKUP': Could it help prevent problems?
BETTER LIFE: Married couples given lots of reasons for lots of sex
The study, presented Sunday at a meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in Washington, D.C., represents a dramatic shift in thinking.
"A lot of other research always suggested romantic love is over by 12 to 15 months. This suggests that may not have to be the case," says Richmond Thompson, an associate professor of psychology and neuroscience at Bowdoin College, who was not involved in the study.
The findings are based on functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) which scanned the brains of 10 women and seven men who said they were still intensely in love with their spouses after an average 21 years of marriage. When they viewed photos of their partners, their brains reacted.
"If you ask people around the world whether romantic love can last, they'll roll their eyes and say 'probably not,' and most textbooks say that too. We're proving them wrong," says anthropologist Helen Fisher of Rutgers University, a co-author.
Lead author Bianca Acevedo, who has worked with Aron and now works with neuroscientist and study co-author Lucy Brown of Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, N.Y., says the findings are similar to earlier research they did on 10 women and seven men who had fallen in love within the previous year. The number of study participants is typical for fMRI studies, researchers say.
Findings show long-term relationships don't have the obsession and anxiety of new love; instead, they show increased calm and attachment, Fisher says. Couples view partners as central to their lives; they continue to want connection and engagement and maintain a sexual liveliness.
Elaine Hatfield, a University of Hawaii psychology professor who did not participate in the study, says the studies are a "wonderful addition" to the love research, "a promising beginning … not the last word in our understanding of passionate love."
