FULLNESS: To fall in love causes addictive chemical reactions

By:Doris Hernández Fernández

To be in love is identified with the passion, it constitutes an emotional state marked by the happiness and the satisfaction of finding another person able to understand and to share the life.

However, it is a less romantic process from the biochemical point of view, because it is a process that begins in the cerebral bark, passes to the endocrine system and becomes physiologic answers.

Some investigations indicate that in the childhood, between the five and the eight years, the cerebral molds are already developed that determine with who we fall in love.

For it, often the arrow arises with similar people along a lifetime.
So thatto be in love takes place, should have agreement of interest among two people and that memories of other moments of attraction arise, José Luis explains to González de Rivera, boss of Psychiatry in the Foundation Jiménez Díaz, of Madrid.

This is explained in that cause addictive chemical reactions when being fallen in love, like with the drugs, and the indifference produces the terrible syndrome of abstinence, characterized by the suffering.

The women emit feromons when ovulating, as other females of animals. They are inodors hormones but that the men perceive.

Other investigators have demonstrated that, on the other hand, the women detect the complex of more histocompatibiblity (CHM) of the immune system, some genes that produce different scents, and they feel bigger attraction for the males with a CHM different to the own one.

When it is opposing the most attractive person, the nervous system starts and takes place a feniletilamin discharge, a made up of the family of the amphetamine and the passion loosens.

She is the responsible of producing the excitement, the one that makes that the dopamin takes place that is the neurotransmisor related with the pleasure and the recompense, according to David Vegetable gardens, psychiatrist of the Hospital of Guadalajara, Mexico.

The testosterone is another hormone in active.There has been discovered that it generates sexual desire in the women, in which it acts as an afrodisíaco that could receive from the masculine couple's kisses.

To know what areas of the brain light for love the functional magnetic resonances and the positrons tomography are.

In accordance with Helen Fisher, are the areas affected by the dopamina (that takes place in the ventral tegmental area and it is liberated in the nucleus accumbens and the front bark) those that put on to the red live, as well as the septum of the women, an area where the emotions are located , and the visual bark in the men, where the beauty is appreciated.

Other investigations checked that, also, the front córtex is inhibited, where it resides the rationality and the critical sense regarding the couple. Here the explanation of the madness of the love is.
Once passing the passion that lasts months, other areas begin to work, the vital in the durable relationships. This explains that a stable relationship can turns surprised by an accidental adventure.

There is another variable, in some cases doesn't arrive to the second phase, and with the passion all the attraction disappears.

Anyway, being in love is furrowed by the emotion.

Cuba Pays Tribute to Ecuadorian Hero

HAVANA, Cuba, Jan 29 (acn) Ecuador’s ambassador to Cuba, Universi Zambrano, unveiled on Wednesday a commemorative plaque at the Monument dedicated to Ecuadorean National Hero Eloy Alfaro (1842-1912), at Havana’s Infanta Park.

A group of children from the Miguel Fernandez Primary School placed wreaths by the bust built there in 1928 to perpetuate the memory of Alfaro.

At the end of the ceremony, Zambrano recalled the history of this champion of Cuba’s independence and recalled details of his life of struggle and how after 40 years of battles, he became president of Ecuador on June 5, 1895.

The assassination of Alfaro, a great admirer of Cuban National Hero Jose Marti, was followed by a conservative, neo-liberal, oligarchic, submissive and pro-imperialist period in Ecuador, until a young man named Rafael Correa, great-grand nephew of Eloy and today President of the Republic, emerged from Quito University, said Zambrano.

The plaque, created by artist Roberto Lopez, reads: “As President of Ecuador, Alfaro sent a letter to the Queen Regent of Spain on December 19, 1895, demanding Cuba’s independence.” It also notes that he “raised his voice for our homeland and the peoples from The Americas.”

During the ceremony, Zambrano gave Cuban sculptor and architect Andres Gonzalez, the creator of the statue to Alfaro —recently unveiled in this capital by President Correa during his visit to Cuba— a diploma of recognition signed by the Ecuadorian Minister of Culture, Galo Mora
Witt, for his valuable contribution to the strengthening of the cultural bonds existing between the two peoples.

Eloy Alfaro was born on June 25, 1842 in the town of Montecristi, in Ecuador’s Manabi province. He was assassinated on January 28, 1912, in Quito, the capital of that South American country.

Ricardo Alarcon Calls for World Campaign in Favor of Cuban Five

HAVANA, Cuba, Jan 29 .The President of the Cuban National Assembly (Parliament), Ricardo Alarcon, urged participants in the Pedagogy 2009 International Congress underway in Havana to carry out a world campaign in favor of five Cuban anti-terrorist fighters who remain unjustly imprisoned in the United States since 1998.

Speaking during a plenary session of the event, Alarcon said that Rene Gonzalez, Ramon Labanino, Gerardo Hernandez, Antonio Guerrero and Fernando Gonzalez – internationally known as the Cuban Five - are also educators who teach with their example, their patriotism, their dignity and their spirit of self-sacrifice.

He recalled that, in fact, the Cuban Five have helped many inmates in different US prisons learn to read and write.

Alarcon announced that next Friday, the defense team of the Cuban Five will present a petition to the US Supreme Court asking this judicial body to revise the case.

He described the current moment as complex and decisive in the legal battle to demand the release of the anti-terrorist fighters and to annul the sentence against Gerardo Hernandez (two life terms plus 15 years).

The Cuban top legislator stressed that international solidarity is essential for the Cuban Five now and recalled that the US Supreme Court accepts only nearly 1.5% of all cases presented to it.

The Cuban Five were arrested in Miami in 1998 for infiltrating extremist right-wing groups that were planning and carrying out terrorist actions against Cuba.
