I've read deprivation of affection could mean poor brain development for children. But once you're grown up & your brain is already developed, what happens when you're deprived of affection? What happens inside the brain when someone is receiving affection? I want to know what goes on inside the brain when receiving and/or being deprived of affection. Does it have anything to do with dompanine, serotonine, or any other type of secretion levels in the brain? Can someone please enrich my mind on this matter a bit, I'm very curious.
