Love is often described as heartwarming, heart-wrenching, and even heartbreaking.
2
So what does the brain have to do with it?
3
Everything.
4
The journey from first spark to last year is guided by a symphony of neurochemicals and brain systems.

As you begin to fall for someone,
8
you may find yourself excessively daydreaming about them and wanting to spend more and more time together.
9
This first stage of love is what psychologists call infatuation, or passionate love.
10
Your new relationship can feel almost intoxicating.
11
And when it comes to the brain,
12
that's not far from the truth.
13
individuals show increased activation in the ventral, tagmental area.
14
The VTA is the reward processing and motivation hub of the brain.
15
Firing when you do things like eat a sweet treat,
16
quench your thirst, or in more extreme cases, take drugs of abuse.
17
Activation releases the feel-good neurotransmitter dopamine,
18
teaching your brain to repeat behaviors in anticipation of receiving the same initial reward.
19
This increased VTA activity is the reason love's not only euphoric,
20
but also draws you towards your new partner.
21
At this first stage, it may be hard to see any faults in your new perfect partner.
22
This haze is thanks to love's influence on higher cortical brain regions.
23
Some newly infatuated individuals show decreased activity in the brain's cognitive center, the prefrontal cortex.
24
As activation of this region allows us to engage in critical thought and pass judgment,
25
it's not surprising we tend to see new relationships through rose-colored glasses.
26
While this first stage of love can be an intense roller coaster of emotions and brain activity,
27
it typically only lasts a few months,
28
making way for the more long-lasting stage of love known as attachment or compassionate love.
29
As your relationship develops, you may feel more relaxed and committed to your partner,
30
thanks in large part to two hormones, oxytocin and vasopressin.
31
Known as pair-bonding hormones, they signal trust,
32
feelings of social support and attachment.
33
In this way, romantic love is not unlike other forms of love,
34
as these hormones also help bond families and friendships.
35
Further, oxytocin can inhibit the release of stress hormones,
36
which is why spending time with a loved one can feel so relaxing.
37
As early love's suspension of judgment fades,
38
it can be replaced by a more honest understanding and deeper connection.
39
Alternatively, as your rose-colored glasses begin to lose their tent,
40
problems in your relationship may become more evident.
41
No matter the reason a relationship ends,
42
we can blame the ache and pain that accompanies heartbreak on the brain.
43
The distress of a breakup activates the insular cortex,
44
a region that processes pain,
45
both physical like spraining your ankle,
46
as well as social like the feelings of rejection.
47
As days pass, you may find yourself once again daydreaming about or craving contact with your lost partner.
48
The drive to reach out may feel overwhelming,
49
like an extreme hunger or thirst.
50
When looking at photos of a former partner,
51
heartbroken individuals again show increased activity in the VTA,
52
the motivation and reward center that drove feelings of longing during the initial stages of the relationship.
53
This emotional whirlwind also likely activates your body's alarm system,
54
the stress axis, leaving you feeling shaken and restless.
55
As time goes on, higher cortical regions,
56
which oversee reasoning and impulse control,
57
can pump the brakes on this distress and craving signaling.
58
Given that these regions are still maturing and making connections through adolescence,
59
it's no wonder that first heartbreak can feel particularly agonizing.
60
Activities like exercise, spending time with friends,
61
or even listening to your favorite song contain this heartbreak stress response while also triggering the release of feel-good neurotransmitter dopamine.
62
Given time and the support,
63
most can heal and learn from even the most devastating heartbreak.
64
Did you know that you spend a third to half of your day daydreaming?
65
And according to scientists, that may be a good thing.
66

Or watch this video to learn about what happens to your brain,
68
not your body, as you get older.

練習のコツ
この動画の速度やトーンを意識しながら、shadowing（シャドーイング）を行うことが効果的です。初めは、音声を止めて言い回しや発音を確認しながら練習すると良いでしょう。特に、感情を込めて話す部分を何度も繰り返すことで、より自然に表現できるようになります。低速の音声を使って、内容を理解しやすくするのも一つの方法です。リスニングを強化するためには、IELTS スピーキング対策としても有効です。また、お気に入りの楽曲を聴いたり、友達と会話を楽しむことで、ストレスを軽減しつつ英語を学ぶことができます。効果的な練習を通じて、shadowing siteを活用し、日々の英語力を向上させましょう。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
