This is a description.

Helen Fisher uses her brain scanning studies of people happily in love, rejected in love and in love long-term to discuss the characteristics of romantic love, love-at-first-sight, and addiction to love. There are four broad cognitive/behavioral personality trait constellations that have evolved associated with the neural systems for dopamine, serotonin, testosterone and estrogen, according to her current research on 40,000 men and women. She talks about her data on mate choice among 28,000 people to show why we are drawn to one person over another.

The educational objectives are listed.

1. Describe the three basic brain systems for mating and reproduction (the sex drive, romantic attraction, and deep feelings of attachment, and how they interact to create our myriad feelings of love.
2. Describe four primary neural systems that contribute to basic personality styles, and how this basic brain chemistry draws us naturally to one person rather than another.
