Scientific tend to view sex and love as a mammalian instinct. Dr.Helen Fisher divides love experience into three partly-overlapping stage: lust, attraction, and attachment.
Lust is the initial passionate sexual desire that promotes mating. It stimulate the release of hormones such as testosterone and oestrogen. The effect is only last for weeks or months.
Attraction is romantic love stage. People at this stage will constantly release chemical, including dopamine, phenylethylamine (PEA), norepinephrine and serotonin. The effect of this chemicals flowing in bloodstream is similar to stress: increased heart reat, sweaty palms, heavy breathing and etc.
Unlike lust and attraction stage, attachment stagement stage is accounted for long term relationship. Evidence suggested that monogamy and trust are related with oxytocin and vasopressin. This is the stage where mature love is.

These compounds are adrenaline, serotonin and dopamine.
you heat them and then you add chemicals by the brain
it means you are not affected by any harmful chemicals.
The different chemicals in the brain include dopamine, serotonin and glutamate. Other chemicals are GABA, acetylcholine, cannabinoids and opioids. Serotonin is associated with mood and dopamine is associated with pleasure.
No. The chemicals wouldn't get past the thick layer of skin covering your skull. The only way chemicals would affect normal brain function is if it enters one of your orifices (eyes, nose, mouth etc..).
The people who study nerotransmitters are called neropsycologists. They study the chemistry of the brain and chemicals released in the brain.
All animals are affected by toxic chemicals.
The brain is not protected from chemicals that are ingested or absorbed through the skin.
Being in love feels good emotionally and physically. This is because being in love releases powerful chemicals from the brain that make a person feel wonderful.
When you in-love three chemicals secreted in the body - phenylethylamine, serrotonin and norepinepherin; they together active brain cells, which are normally activated by drugs. These three chemicals only make us behave crazy when we are in-love
As a title of a school course, yes. As a word in a sentence such as, "The drug affected his brain chemistry," no.
Scientific studies and scans of the brain show that the brain is on a chemical high when the person is "in love." The feeling of ecstasy and the "butterfly in stomach" feeling that you get when you are around the person that you're "in love with" is caused by chemicals released by the brain. The feeling is similar to a "high" produced when using certain drugs. Although these feelings can be misleading, it does not mean that you do or do not love someone. It is possible to know whether or not you really love someone before the brain stops releasing chemicals, but it is difficult. This is why deciding whether or not to marry someone should not be based solely on feelings.
Surprisingly and fortunately the brain does not seem to get affected by epilepsy.
It makes chemicals. For example, chemicals from and to the brain and stomach help you to know when you are hungry/full.
The blood brain barrier blocks chemicals from entering brain tissue.
Because there are chemicals in your brain that make you attracted to a certain person.Because the grass is always greener on the other side.
It is the cells in the brain that are affected.
No set answer. Depends on the individual. There are chemicals that appear in the brain naturally, and then there are chemicals (drugs, medicines, toxins, etc.) that are put into the bloodstream from outside sources.
