No romance without serotonin

This study was conducted on healthy volunteers, but who had low levels of serotonin.

People with low levels of this chemical in the brain have rated different couples as less intimate, compared to volunteers with normal levels of serotonin.

The study consisted of the administration of drinks containing amino-acid to two groups of volunteers, in order to manipulate the levels of tryptophan in the blood – a vital ingredient in the synthesis of serotonin.

One group received drinks containing tryptophan, while the other group received beverages that did not contain this amino-acid. All volunteers were asked to evaluate pictures of different couples.

The differences in judgments of the two groups reflected the changes in serotonin in the body. Volunteers who received drinks without tryptophan have consistently rated the couples as less intimate and romantic than participants who received the drinks with amino-acids.

The findings reminded that our relations are influenced by processes beyond our consciousness. Understanding the influence of serotonin is important for strengthening relations, which are known to protect people from mental illness and speed recovery in psychiatric illnesses. Also, the opposite is true, as dysfunctional relationships trigger mental illnesses.

“Although this is only a small study, the same patterns may well extend to the way we perceive our own relationships,” said Professor Robert Rogers of Oxford University.

“The ability to chemically influence the capacity for intimacy could be very important. Reduced capacity for intimacy can be a vexing symptom of many psychiatric disorders and an important target for treatment, “says Dr. John Krystal, editor of Biological Psychiatry.

More research is needed before a medicine is released to help increase the feeling of intimacy.

For the remainder of the filming of the latest Twilight installment, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart returned to Louisiana. They were later joined by other actors from the cast.

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson joined the rest of the team at a private dinner at Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar and it seems they still managed to spend an intimate moment despite the two dozen attendees.

According to restaurant staff, the two seemed to only have eyes for one another, as if the rest of the team was not there.

“Kristen and Rob were very couple-like,” said a restaurant source cited by People. “There was a lot of hand-holding, sitting next to each other. Everyone was talking around the room, but Kristen and Rob were just talking to each other, not really into the conversations everyone else was having.”

On another date at the Cadillac Café, a strip-mall karaoke bar not far from the studio where the shooting is taking place, a witness said the two were seen looking “very much a couple.”

“I mean, they weren’t slobbering all over each other … but they sure looked like a couple and were talking with each other like a couple,” the onlooker says. “They [seem like] a couple in love.”

Moreover, ““Brad’s pulling away more than Ange, but she knows she’s almost powerless to keep him. She feels her heart’s being ripped apart and she’s dreading her life having to go through the same thing, but it’s unavoidable because there’s so much at stake”, the source continued.
