Poets, artists, philosophers have long held that we love from the heart, but I am proposing, without wanting to find all the scientific evidence, that actually we love from our head. Our brains, to be more precise, (if not more scientific). And I’ll tell you how I know; I know this from studying neuroscience. I know this because I absolutely love neuroscience like such a nerd. I can’t wait for new books to come out, I read parts of them and the table of contents on Amazon. I’ve had to tell myself, to calm down, to hold back, to just wait, read a little manga or something light, something fun, for a while. But the field of neuroscience is burgeoning, and I can’t keep up.
Then it dawned on me, driving home from work, listening to KBEM Jazz 88 station, I love neuroscience because my brain is in love with itself. Neuroscience is like a mirror for my brain, and I can’t look away. It’s a powerful thing, this brain love, and I’m not sure where it’s going, and hopefully, I will never leave myself. That would be truly a lonesome thing.

About Me
- Theresa
- Theresa began her writing/publishing career in earnest at age 12 with an underground newspaper. It was near the end of 7th grade at a Catholic grade school, the paper was left anonymously around the school. Unfortunately, some of it was left jammed in the old mimeograph machine, and Theresa was the last one seen using it. A good writer, and enterprising, just always leaving one shoe untied. She, and her good friend Mary, were expelled from school.
