Identified: The Brain Cells That Control The Body's Response to Fear

Strong emotions such as fear and anxiety tend to be accompanied and reinforced by measurable bodily changes including increased blood pressure, heart rate and respiration, and dilation of the eyes' pupils. Researchers have identified a population of brain cells whose activity appears to drive such arousal responses.
