Fear is widely recognized as a defensive emotion that has developed as a consequence of its adaptive function in protecting the entire animal kingdom from danger, ensuring the survival (Bouton, 2002; Milad and Quirk, 2002). Although fear associated with specific stimuli is an innate emotion (e.g., a loud noise triggering fear in infants, fear of potential predators), it can also be acquired rapidly and permanently to enable an appropriate and adaptive response to new or unpredictable environmental situations (LeDoux, 2000; Beckers et al., 2013).

Abstract
Fear is widely recognized as a defensive emotion that has developed as a consequence of its adaptive function in protecting the entire animal kingdom from danger, ensuring the survival (Bouton, 2002; Milad and Quirk, 2002). Although fear associated with specific stimuli is an innate emotion (e.g., a loud noise triggering fear in infants, fear of potential predators), it can also be acquired rapidly and permanently to enable an appropriate and adaptive response to new or unpredictable environmental situations (LeDoux, 2000; Beckers et al., 2013).| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
