Abstract
Controlled observation of chimpanzee fear responses to selected stimuli, here reported, seem to indicate that fear originates in the disruption of temporally and spatially organized cerebral activities. Fear is distinguished from other emotions by the fact that cerebral equilibrium is restored by flight. Sources of fear are conflict, sensory deficit, or constitutional change.Keywords
