La peur est la plus ancestrale de nos émotions. Elle existe chez tous les vertébrés depuis la nuit des temps. Une glande, nommée amygdale, en déclenche l'activité. Face à l'imminence d'un danger, l'amygdale, tel un signal de détection, lance l'alerte. Face à cette peur, le corps s'immobilise, fuit ou entre en lutte. Ainsi en est-il pour tous les vertébrés, espèce humaine comprise, qui, grâce à ce comportement de défiance, a pu assurer sa survie.

Exciting new developments in brain science are continuing the debates on these issues, and the field has now expanded to include biologists, neuroscientists, psychologists, and philosophers.

Imagine, if you will, a disease - one that has only subtle outward symptoms but can hijack your entire body without notice; one that transfers easily between parent and child; one that can last a lifetime if untreated.
