Love Addiction: Definition, Etiology, Treatment (2010, background): “When making subjective reports of romantic love and attachment, activation is observed in the dorsal area of the anterior cingulate cortex, caudate nucleus, and medial insula ( Bartels & Zeki, 2000 , 2004 ), along with elevated levels of mesolimbic dopamine and norepinephrine (associated with elati”
You’re so lovable: Anthropomorphism and brand love (2014, background): “It is well documented that people tend to see both the people they love (Murstein, 1988; Bartels and Zeki, 2004) and the things they love (Ahuvia, 1993; Carroll and Ahuvia, 2006; Albert et al, 2008; Ahuvia et al, 2009; Johnson et al, 2011; Batra et al, 2012; Loureiro and Kaufmann, 2012; Vlachos and ”
What is mentalization? The concept and its foundations in developmental research (2012, background): “The most compelling study using this paradigm comes from Bartels and Zeki (Bartels & Zeki, 2004) who, using the contrast of own vs. other child, controlled for age and familiarity, were able to demonstrate activity in almost all of the brain regions critical for the attachment-mediating neuropeptide”
Positive Social Interactions and the Human Body at Work: Linking Organizations and Physiology (2008, background): “…and medical scientists' theories of social interactions, including theories of love (Carter, 1998; Porges, 1998), maternal and mate attachment (Bartels & Zeki, 2004; Insel, 2000), adult attachment and affiliation (Henry & Wang, 1998), positive social interactions (Uvnä s-Moberg, 1998), and…”
Meditation and the neuroscience of consciousness (2007, background): “Maternal and romantic love have been linked in humans to the activation of the reward and attachment circuitries such as the substantia nigra and the striatum (caudate nucleus, putamen, globus pallidus) (Bartels & Zeki, 2004).”
Meditation states and traits: EEG, ERP, and neuroimaging studies. (2006, background): “Besides the importance of anterior cingulate cortex activation as a marker of the increased attentional focus in meditative states, this structure also appears related to feelings of love (Bartels & Zeki, 2000, 2004).”
Critical Neuroscience: Linking Neuroscience and Society through Critical Practice (2009, background): “…and neuro-cultures (see Ortega and Vidal, 2007) which have given a new primacy to the brain in knowledge about behaviour ranging from love (Bartels and Zeki, 2000, 2004) and hate (Zeki and Romaya, 2008) to empathy (Lamm et al., 2007) and experiences from psychoanalysis (Solms and…”
Social buffering: relief from stress and anxiety (2006, background): “…that visual information transmits social buffering signals and stimulates its effects; recent imaging studies have indicated that pictures of the face of a loved one or of one’s own children deactivate the amygdaloid nucleus, which controls fear-related responses (Bartels & Zeki 2000, 2004).”
A Cultural Perspective on Romantic Love (2015, result): “However, given that also maternal love gives almost identical activation patterns (Bartels & Zeki, 2004), and given that the results are highly similar to those in several other species (see Figure 1), Bartels believes it is highly likely that these core regions that they report to be modulated by…”
