For most people, the cutest thing you have ever seen involves a baby, a puppy, or any other adorable animal. The chances are they have big captivating eyes that make them forever ingrained in your memory. This phenomenon has been observed for years, and scientists research this powerful attractive force that makes things appear intensely cute.

Morten L. Kringelbach, an associate professor and senior research fellow in neuroscience, together with colleagues Marc Bornstein from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and Catherine Alexander from the University of Oxford, assert that cuteness is a purely visual thing.

“It works by involving all the senses and strongly attracting our attention by sparking rapid brain activity. In fact, cuteness may be one of the strongest forces that shape our behavior – potentially making us more compassionate,” the authors explain in their article for The Conversation.

Scientists believe that cuteness facilitates well-being and complex social relationships by activating brain networks associated with emotion and pleasure and triggering empathy and compassion.

“When we encounter something cute, it ignites fast brain activity in regions such as the orbitofrontal cortex, which are linked to emotion and pleasure. It also attracts our attention in a biased way: babies have privileged access to entering conscious awareness in our brains.”

Meanwhile, Eloise Stark from the psychiatry department at the University of Oxford argues that from the research scientists have so far, cuteness response is inclusive of everyone, regardless of whether you are a parent or not. The same goes for cute animals.

"This is why people are able to capitalize on cuteness in marketing, selling 'cute' toys like Hello Kitty. The cuteness activates the same brain mechanisms, regardless of whether the object is a baby, a puppy, or an object."

"We know that [when we see a young animal or child] there is a really fast burst of activity in the orbitofrontal cortex, an area of the brain involved in reward," Eloise says. "We think this early activity biases the brain towards processing the cute stimulus – for example, by making sure we give it our full attention. The effect of this may be to approach the infant or cute animal, wanting to pick it up or look after it."
