Anyone who has had their heart broken will know how horrible it
feels. But did you know that the pain you feel is not just
imaginary – it registers in the same part of the brain that
processes physical pain. So, why do we feel this pain? And if it
feels so bad, what is the point of being in love in the first
place? Neil and Georgie discuss this and teach you some new
vocabulary.
