Beauty is the drug of all the times

Beauty stimulates the same area of the brain which is stimulated by opioid morphine (certain kind of drug). The brain feels pretty face; a new study has found that thing. Olga Chelnokova, psychologist and researcher at the University of Oslo in Norway said, "Like delicious food and good music it is beneficial for people to be connected to a romantic partner."

Chelnokova and his colleagues involved 30 healthy people in their study. Some of these people were given morphine, which stimulates the brain’s Opioid System. Other people were given Opioid (similar drug like that of morphine). The scientists showed people pictures of women's faces, which were difference in attractiveness. In Live Science, scientists report that the people asked to assess each face according to their choices. Scientists also accounted for the fact that how long people saw each face.

Those who were given morphine, they looked more attractive faces longer. They given less time to the face that looked less attractive. In contrast, those who had been Opioid, they looked far less towards the attractive faces. According to researchers, this suggests that the human brain’s Opioid System can help you in choosing your best partner. The fellows who wish to draw their mind less towards lesser attractive people. The research is published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry.

So, we can say that beauty acts like a drug for the human brain. As Valentine’s is on its peak, such studies will encourage the people to look for their partners. It is due to the Opioid system that people urge to look attractive and also they want an attractive partner with them.

So, finally we came on a conclusion that beauty has a connection with the brain, not heart. If someone is finding you attractive then it means that his/her opioid system is getting stimulated.

So, either you can go for opioid morphine to stimulate that system of brain or you can choose to look attractive. Decision is in your hands. Here, we would like to distinguish that liking and wanting, both are different. Liking reflects the feeling of attraction towards something while wanting is the desire to have that thing, whether or not you are finding it attractive.

So, opioid system of the brain encodes ‘liking’, not ‘wanting’. The ‘wanting’ factor is controlled by dopamine system which is somehow related to opioid. This study was not a process of scanning the brain, but it involved probing the studies with drugs.
