dc.descriptionAnalizar a partir de una revisión narrativa de estudios publicados entre 2020 y 2025 el funcionamiento del amor romántico desde una perspectiva neurocientífica y sus implicaciones sociales
dc.description.abstractEl presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo analizar, a partir de una revisión narrativa de estudios publicados entre 2020 y 2025, el funcionamiento del amor romántico desde una perspectiva neurocientífica y sus implicaciones sociales; para ello, se revisaron 26 investigaciones encontradas en las bases de datos PubMed, Science Direct y el buscador Google Académico; de estas, 14 estaban relacionadas con las bases neurobiológicas del amor romántico y 12 con sus variables sociales, culturales, religiosas y tecnológicas. Los hallazgos indicaron que el amor romántico involucra una interacción dinámica entre los sistemas cerebrales de recompensa, motivación, cognición y apego, junto con factores sociales y culturales que moldean su expresión. Desde la neurociencia, se resalta la activación del circuito dopaminérgico mesolímbico, que sustenta la búsqueda de placer y la consolidación del vínculo, mientras que las transformaciones culturales y tecnológicas actuales revelan nuevas formas de vinculación, mediadas por la digitalización y la exposición social. Esta información permite concluir que la biología y el contexto influyen recíprocamente en la manera en que se experimenta, se mantiene y se transforma el vínculo amoroso; pues este es el resultado de la interacción dinámica de factores neurobiológicos, psicológicos y socioculturales.
dc.description.abstractAbstract The present study aimed to analyze, thru a narrative review of studies published between 2020 and 2025, the functioning of romantic love from a neuroscientific perspective and its social implications; to this end, 26 studies found in the PubMed and Science Direct databases and the Google Scholar search engine were reviewed; of these, 14 were related to the neurobiological bases of romantic love and 12 to its social, cultural, religious, and technological variables. The findings indicated that romantic love involves a dynamic interaction among the brain’s reward, motivation, cognition, and attachment systems, along with social and cultural factors that shape its expression. From a neuroscience perspective, the activation of the mesolimbic dopaminergic circuit, which underlies pleasure-seeking and bond consolidation, is highlighted, while current cultural and technological transformations reveal new forms of bonding mediated by digitization and social exposure. This information allows us to conclude that biology and context reciprocally influence how the loving bond is experienced, maintained, and transformed; for it is the result of the dynamic interaction of neurobiological, psychological, and sociocultural factors.
