Love, actually:- the science behind lust, attraction and companionship.

Author:- Kim Hathaway. PhD Harvard. In 1993, Haddaway asked the world, “What is Love?” I’m not sure if he ever got his answer – but today, you can have yours. Sort of. Scientists in fields ranging from anthropology to neuroscience have been asking this same question (albeit less eloquently) for decades. It turns out the science behind love is both simpler and more complex than we might think. Google the phrase “biology of love” and you’ll get answers that run the gamut of accuracy. Needless to say, the scientific basis of love is often sensationalized, and as with most science, we don’t know enough to draw firm conclusions about every piece of the puzzle.

I was one too as a youngster, especially when angry or excited.   Stammering/ stuttering is a very common condition and is often depicted comically in drama sketches. More than 70 million people are affected worldwide. Stuttering is a speech disorder in which sounds, syllables or words are repeated or elongated leading to a disruption in the normal flow of speech.   Often this disruption is accompanied by secondary struggling behaviours such as rapid eye blinking or extremity tremors. What leads to stuttering? It is postulated that stuttering may result from any of the following:- (i) genetic factors – usually an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance and seen in 60% of cases, with one or more family members affected. (ii) Impaired speech and language development in early childhood especially in the setting of developmen...
