Abstract
We will argue that specific systems of the brain, situated largely in subcortical areas, unconditionally generate a variety of somatic, behavioral, visceral, hormonal and psychic changes that characterize fear / [sketch] a preliminary functional model of the fear-executive system, highlighting its major presumed neural inputs and outputs relations between fear and pain / 'fear command system' of the brain / animal models of anxiety and 'the fear system'.
