Vad är en kyss? Enligt Washington Post handlar det om att samla information som ligger till grund för allvarliga beslut och livsdrömmar. Länk

During a passionate kiss, our blood vessels dilate and our brains receive more oxygen than normal. Our breathing can become irregular and deepen. Our cheeks flush, our pulse quickens, and our pupils dilate (which may be one reason that so many of us close our eyes). A long, open-mouthed exchange allows us to sample another person’s taste, which can reveal clues about his or her health and fertility. Our tongues – covered with little bumps called papillae that feature our 9,000 to 10,000 taste buds – are ideally designed to gather such information.

When we kiss, all five of our senses are busy transmitting messages to our brain. Billions of nerve connections are firing away and distributing signals around our bodies. Eventually, these signals reach the somatosenory cortex, the region of the brain that processes feelings of touch, temperature, pain and more.
