We all have fears and most of us has some type of phobia. But where do fears come from? And how are we affected by each other? Since fear is vital for our survival it has an important part in our brains responses. We learn what things to fear and avoid from both experience and our environment. In this episode we learn more about the amygdala, an important area of the brain with a role in the processing of fear and social emotions.
