     No, that's evidence that the brain has an effect on your emotions, and it
    would be surprising if it didn't. In any case 'love' can't be a meme
    because it isn't a transmissible cultural trait, but a biological universal
    (in humans - not sure about dogs etc), so its basis will be purely genetic.
