Brain Mapping Love: where does it reside in the brain? Neuroscientists are striving to locate the seats of mental processes in an effort to create a veritable brain map. Imaging technology such as MRI, CAT, and SPECT scans, as well as surgical prodding allow doctors to peer inside the active brain to locate areas of stimulation. Researchers have made headway in finding the regions of vision, speech, movement, cognition, and sensation. And in time, they may also discover which clusters of neurons produce such enigmatic qualities as memory, personality, consciousness, and love. Happy Valentine's Day!
