Ever wonder why certain words can make your heart race or bring an instant smile to your face? In this mind-bending episode, we dive deep into the fascinating world of neuroscience to uncover how our brains actually process emotional words. We explore groundbreaking research from Cell Reports that gives us an unprecedented peek into the brain's chemical response to language, measuring real-time levels of dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine during word processing.
