The solace found when thinking about a loved one could also alleviate the stress associated with being close to death, says Mario Mikulincer at the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya, Israel, who was not involved with the study. "This neural finding fits with our behavioural findings that thoughts of mortality activate the attachment system, motivating us to seek love and protection from significant others," he says.
