Woman feels no fear

CBC STORY:

"The 44-year-old mother of three, referred to in the journal Current Biology as SM, has a rare psychological impairment due to a genetic disease called lipoid proteinosis that left holes where her amygdala — the brain’s danger detector — would normally reside.
The patient felt excitement, but never fear in a series of threatening scenarios monitored by researchers."
