Love is mesmerising yetcomplicated.Brainimaging studies of love foundthat many different areas of the brain are involved in processing this intriguingemotion. Just looking or thinking about a loved one causes the releaseofa variety ofneurotransmittersacross the brain.The universal nature of love is manifested in various forms, including the warm feeling felt towards family, child, spouse, pets orfriends.What is more special about love isthatit may have the ability to heal! Astudy was undertaken to investigate scientifically factors underlying the reputed healing power of love through neuroimaging. Theresults of the study,whichwerepublished recentlyproposed abrain connectivity model ofareas that are involved in reducing pain threshold when a loved-one is nearby, termed "Love Heals". This article discussesthe healing power of love with supporting evidences fromprevious studies.Wefocusonthree aspects, namelythe neurochemistry of romantic love, the psychological aspect of emotionand the neuroimaging aspect.

The brain is the main organ that processes a lot of information, including emotion and cognitive behaviour. This paper aims to highlight the dynamic reorganization of the brain connectivity model associated with pain, love, and empathy responses. Various approaches in cognitive neuroscience use functional neuroimaging methods to determine the brain activation areas via visual stimulus, emotion label inventories, face recognition, and physical pain stimulation. The brain activation areas were recognized according to the types of tasks chosen for the participants, such as emotional expression, face detection, and physical pain-induced tasks. These three emotional categories have their respective neural correlation and share some activation areas that comprise empathy-pain and love-pain related. This area of research has brought many benefits in the healthcare sector in which physicians and psychologists, as well as other people, understand and explore more about their body functions, thus leading them to foster healthier relationships and emotional awareness.
