Home/ News / World Chocolate Day: What happens to your brain when you eat chocolate

Recent research in neuroscience has uncovered the brain areas and chemicals involved in the pleasure and addiction associated with chocolate consumption. Let us delve into the science behind our love for chocolate and how chocolate affects the brain. There are many foods for brain health, and chocolate is considered one of them. Karishma Jethmalani, Neuro Psychologist, Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine, Sir H.N. Reliance Hospital, tells Health Shots about the link between chocolate and the brain. When we consume chocolate, several brain areas and chemicals come into play. The initial enjoyment begins with the taste buds on our tongues, detecting the sweet or bitter flavors. The information is then sent to the brain’s primary taste processing areas, which evaluate the taste of chocolate.
