   Fear is an essential animal emotion. Its triggers, and the associated symptoms of anxiety or aggression fear can cause, have evolved to serve a number of very important purposes, and have served us well. Scientists and psychologists have long postulated the essential role of fear in human survival. For instance, neuroscientist Jaak Panksepp ...

   What is a specific phobia?

   • Specific phobias are extreme and persistent fears of certain objects, situations, or activities, or persons. Additionally, people who suffer from specific phobias work hard to avoid their phobia stimuli even though they know there is no threat or danger, but they feel powerless to stop their irrational fear.

   What are fear-associated behaviors?

   • Fear-associated behaviors are actions taken in order to terminate the state of fear itself. Learning about a harmful stimulus from another animal involves the amygdala in both rats and humans. An interesting aspect of these behaviors is that they are not proactive but motivated by the anticipation of fear's end. (The passage originally mentioned 'fear-associated behaviors are those actions taken not proactively but in order to terminate the state of fear itself' at the beginning, but I moved it to the beginning of the Fixed Passage for better flow with the Question.)

   What is the neurobiological basis of fear?

   • Understanding the neurobiological basis of fear is therefore critical at elucidating the mechanisms improving treatments of these fear-related pathologies. Concerning phobias, nonexperiential, engag-ing innate fear, and experiential, engaging conditioned fear, disor-ders can be distinguished.
