Why do we get goosebumps when scared or cold? 😨❄️* It’s a leftover survival reflex from our hairy ancestors — meant to make fur stand tall and look bigger. 🐒🧬 Now? It’s just your body reacting to ancient fears. #MedicStein #BodyFacts #ScienceOfFear

In this brain section, blue=cell nuclei, green=cells active during a moment of fear & red=areas active when that fearful time was later recalled (possibly indicating an ‘engram’ or lasting biological representation of that memory). (2/3) #Halloween #HappyHalloween #ScienceOfFear

Watching horror movies lately make you wonder what happens with fear in your brain? @TheDrewLab studies fear’s effects as part of exploring learning & memory. This mouse brain shows cells active when recalling a fearful moment. (1/3) #Halloween #HappyHalloween #ScienceOfFear

@FoxNews Who are you asking in these polls? Anybody trusting Biden on Covid has their head in the sand (among other places). Lockdowns are a fallacy; they only delay our ability to reach immunity. #ScienceOfFear

Fear is the expectation or the anticipation of possible harm That signal is relayed to the thalamus in your brain, and then directly to the amygdala, which releases neurotransmitters throughout the body -- notably glutamate, essentially the chemical behind fear. @SchoolHeys

“Look at the language. If a scientist delivers the simple, unconditional, absolutely certain statements that politicians and journalists want, they are talking as an activist, not as a scientist.” This feels very relevant as a statement today #scienceoffear #communication #pr
