The article discusses habituation, a biological process where repeated exposure to nonthreatening stimuli leads to decreased responsiveness, allowing organisms to adapt to their environments. This desensitization aids in focusing on important signals over constant distractions. At a social level, familiar experiences can lose their excitement, prompting the need for novelty. Additionally, while dopamine drives initial feelings of love, other neurochemicals are essential for maintaining emotional connections, suggesting that genetic predispositions and decreasing dopamine levels may contribute to infidelity in relationships.
Living beings become less responsive to repeated stimuli over time, a process known as habituation, which helps the brain filter out constant, unimportant signals.
Dopamine initiates feelings of love and excitement, but other neurochemicals are necessary to sustain the emotional connection in romantic relationships.
