The limbic transmitting of Attractors makes personal identity more malleable. The people to whom we are attached provoke part of our everyday neural
activity. Ongoing exposure to one person's Attractors does not just activate neural patterns in another, it also strengthens them. Long-standing togetherness
writes permanent changes into a brain's neural pathways.

The astonishing legacy of the human race is limbic revision, the power to rewire the emotional parts of the people we love, as our attractors activate certain
limbic pathways, and the brain's memory mechanism reinforces them.

Who we are and who we become depends, in part, on whom we love.

Pheromones

Romantic love begins with attraction. You begin your romantic relationship when there is that feeling of attraction. But why are we attracted to some people
and not to others? Let’s examine the role played by pheromones.

These are chemicals in the body that send signals to others through a subliminal passageway of scent. Scientists widely accept that animals communicate and
mate by smell. It is also known that animals can be warned of impending danger by scent.

A study on pheromones in women's underarm secretion gives the most solid evidence for the existence of human pheromones It has been suggested that our
subconscious preference for certain pheromones might explain why we are only attracted to certain people.

Pheromones are not the only reason we are attracted to someone. Social and environmental influences, genetics and past experience contribute to who we are
and who we find physically and emotionally attractive. Our genetics might play a role in whether or not someone is desirable avoid inbreeding or, at the other
extreme, to avoid the loss of desirable gene combinations. Inevitably though, it is our brain that processes another individual's appearance, lifestyle, how they
relate to past individuals we have met, and, possibly, their pheromones. Based on this information, we decide, within our brain, whether or not this person is
worth getting to know.
