Fear and anxiety are mediated via the amygdala, and there are widespread autonomic connections that provide potential explanations for everyday experiences, such as freezing with fear, hypertension with severe pain, and feeling nauseated, hypotensive and sweaty at the sight of blood.

This phenomenon is as far as is known confined to the amygdala and hippocampus.
