00:00 Why do we feel fear?
00:01 The feeling of fear arises as a result of the activation of certain "structures in the
00:07 brain that play a key role in the processing of emotions."
00:11 Amygdala.
00:13 It's a small "structure in the limbic system of the brain."
00:18 It reacts quickly to potential threats and triggers "physiological and behavioral responses
00:24 to insurance incentives."
00:26 Hypothalamus.
00:28 This brain structure "regulates physiological responses to stress, such as increased heart
00:35 rate, increased breathing, and the release of stress hormones such as adrenaline and
00:41 cortisol."
00:42 The hippocampus.
00:44 It plays a role "in the formation of memory and the relationship with emotional reactions."
