Abstract

T woman touched the snake’s flickering tongue. She was fascinated, and completely unafraid. Indeed, she kept asking to touch the poisonous snakes too, and they had to stop her picking up the tarantula. She found the haunted house funny and scared one of the ‘monsters’ by poking it in the head. The fearless subject of these unusual experiments is SM who has Urbach-Wiethe disease. This condition includes bilateral destruction of the amygdala. ‘SM provides a rare glimpse into the adverse consequences of living life without the amygdala. For SM, the consequences have been severe. Her behavior, time and time again, leads her back to the very situations she should be avoiding, highlighting the indispensable role that the amygdala plays in promoting survival by compelling the organism away from danger. Indeed, it appears that without the amygdala, the evolutionary value of fear is lost.’1

糖尿病的恐惧

女人摸了摸蛇颤动的舌头。她被迷住了，一点也不害怕。事实上，她也一直要求触摸毒蛇，他们不得不阻止她拿起狼蛛。她觉得鬼屋很有趣，就戳其中一个“怪物”的头，吓了它一跳。在这些不同寻常的实验中，无畏的实验对象是患有乌尔巴赫-维德病的SM。这种情况包括双侧杏仁核的破坏。SM提供了一个难得的机会，让我们得以一窥没有杏仁核的生活所带来的不良后果。对SM来说，后果是严重的。她的行为一次又一次地把她带回到她应该避免的情况下，突出了杏仁核在通过迫使有机体远离危险来促进生存方面所起的不可或缺的作用。事实上，似乎没有杏仁核，恐惧的进化价值就消失了
