| | Dear Reader, Nearly one fifth of the U.S. adult population suffers from an anxiety disorder, according to 2018 data. At their core, the worry and panic that make up general anxiety stem from an overactive fear response in the brain. And indeed, that primordial reaction is one of the most examined topics in neuroscience— investigated in rodents, humans, other apes and even invertebrates. But how much do those automatic feelings relate to the emotions that humans associate with fear and, subsequently, their experience in the world? I hope you enjoy the issue!
