GAZE AT ART.

"According to a study last year from University College London,

when people looked at paintings they liked, MRIs showed

that the medial orbitofrontal cortex, part of the brain that governs

pleasure, lit up. The caudate nucleus, which is the nerve center

relating to romantic love also brightened."
