Is love exists in a basic form?

I recently joined a social networking response called Quora because of some issues about my IQ and I have seen a very interesting question.

 Do the psychopathy love their children?
There is an anonymous answer by a mother who has two children but has no love to them they jusy like pet with her. Because her brains could not secrese the chemical to feel love, there were controversy about how her action was to be deemed love or not.

  I also found it very curious about this issue, I mean the near-the-death experience of unconditional love when there is no body, but why these people do not feel the love of mastery because of the less chemical secretion.
Note: My english still petty bad but you can hrlp me to fix it :0

Conceivably, if I understand your question, whatever brain we have is a filter that fashions/reduces the abilities and limits we have, include the ability to love, which again we can speculate is regained when discarnate again.

I do often wonder about psychopathy, whether it's merely a reflection of the brain or a dimension of the soul personality, and maybe that varies too.

If we didn't have feelings/emotions, we wouldn't do very much. They are the only thing which motivates us... motivating us away from some things... and motivating us towards other things... and these things we are repelled from, or attracted towards, are spatio-temporal patterns.

Earlier animals, like lizards have less-evolved brains - the reptilian brain - which is pretty poor with what it can distinguish and process, and will for instance, just eat anything that matches it's basic pattern matching capability, including it's own young. Humans also have the same reptilian brain, but we've also added lots more brain structures to it as we've evolved, and these new bits allow us much more nuanced abilities, they allow us to process/use a much greater variation of spatio-temporal patterns.

Personally, I think any strong feeling like love, or fear or anger etc has something to do with adding-up these spatio-temporal patterns in a non-classical way (transending spacetime), such that the strength of any particular feeling may be stronger, if it adds-up non-classically with a greater number of matching patterns across spacetime. Conversely, the strength of any particular feeling may be weaker, if it adds-up non-classically with a lesser number of matching patterns.

The brain seems to provide a method of highly plastic storage that moves through spacetime with us. The brain can create new patterns, reinforce well-used patterns, and erodes unused patterns. These patterns are correlated with incoming sensory data, and most importantly, I think the patterns may have the ability to add-up non-classically by some other mechanism.

For me... the general idea of love is just an attractive-type of pattern which adds-up non-classically with many other matching patterns in spacetime (so it is strongly felt)... thus it can motivate me towards certain behaviors more strongly.

I think of psychopaths as having a differently enough evolved brain for creating different spatio-temporal storage patterns. Just different enough for us to notice a problem, such that they are possibly missing some ability to store/access certain types of spatio-temporal patterns of the general population. They might lack the ability to create a certain pattern in their brain (which moves through space-time with us), or perhaps lack some part which can add up non-classically. Either way, you might say they were slightly more biased towards lizard behavior.

As for NDE's, I'm not sure that the 'love' is anything more than a strongly attractive pattern, motivating one towards some type of behavior which is more like the human-group-average behavior. There are after all, plenty of frightening experiences containing a feeling of fear, these seem to be repelling patterns, motivating one away from some type of behavior that exceeds human-group-average behavior.

According to the stuff I have read on NDE's, both the recalled repelling, and attractive experiences, tend to motivate us towards the human-group-average behavior, and because of that, whether repelling, or attractive, they tend to be viewed as beneficial, by most outside observers in society.

Can't hazard a guess whether a psychopath's physiology would prevent them from experiencing an attractive NDE though? They might still have an  attractive NDE for them... experienced in a way which still motivates them towards some goal... but every experience is different, and NDE's themselves are only a subgroup of all experiences which are available.
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring 
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
