A scientific study analyzes the bodily and mental responses to fear, combining experimental observation and clinical examples to trace how brain activity, reflexes, and blood circulation change during emotion. It examines pallor and blushing, cardiac and respiratory alterations, trembling, facial expression and the physiognomy of pain, as well as phenomena in children, dreams, sudden terror, and illnesses produced by chronic fear, concluding with discussion of hereditary transmission and the role of education in modulating fearful reactions.
