ODDBALL: And (She) Shall Know No Fear
Very interesting implications from this medical disorder discovered in a female patient…
“Snakes, spiders, haunted houses and scary movies may evoke shrieks of fright in many people, but there’s one woman who doesn’t seem to be afraid of them — or anything else.
She goes only by the initials S.M. to protect her identity and she is the subject of a study published in the latest edition of the journal Current Biology that looked at how a certain part of the brain experiences fear.”
It will be interesting to see whether gender has anything to do with this case, or is just a random sample. Now we are one step closer to the Astartes.
