”Don’t panic! Fear from head to toe“

26 August - 14 December 2014

Throbbing heart, goose pimples, sweating – we all experience and dread fear, without really understanding this emotion. Why is the fear reaction actually beneficial? Can animals also be scared? How does fear develop and how does it disappear? What is the role of the brain and how do anxiety disorders arise? These and other questions are addressed in the special exhibition launched by the Universities of Zurich and Geneva. This exhibition teaches us to understand the fear reaction and maybe therefore, to panic less when it comes to fear.

The exhibition is in German, English and French
