Grazia Attili, Brain in love. Women and men at the time of Neuroscience. Il Mulino, Bologna, 2017

Abstract

The volume illustrates in an evolutionary perspective how loving relationships between men and women are built. The major attention is given to the biological dimension and especially to the function of neurotransmitters in order to confer a complete portrait/framework of their role in the love dynamics. The great explicative richness about the “biological” dimension, whose complexity and settings are explained in the volume with remarkable expertise and mastery through simple and very sharp examples, even if the biological evolutionary approach rules leaves in the background the social and cultural debate on determinants of the different human contexts.
