Answer:

Well, pain and fear are two relatively different things. Since pain is a physical sensation as well as mental, as fear is just a mental sensation. When we feel pain, like once we touch a hot stove, sensory receptors in our skin send a message via nerve fibres (A-delta fibres and C fibres) to the neural structure and brainstem then onto the brain where the feeling of pain is registered, the data is processed and therefore the pain is perceived. And for pain it comes from the brain. When people encounter something that frightens them, the hypothalamus in the brain reacts by releasing a series of chemicals to the sympathetic nervous system and the adrenal-cortical system.

Answer:Anterograde amnesia

Explanation:

Anterograde amnesia occurs when there is a loss in the ability to create new memories after the event like some traumatic brain injury or a mental shock that caused amnesia. This can lead to either a partial or complete inability to recall the recent past but memories that happened long before the event tend to remain intact. This is different from retrograde amnesia. Here , memories created prior to the event are lost while new memories can still be created. Sometimes, Both retrograde and anterograde can occur together in the same patient. It is found out that the regions involved in anterograde amnesia are some sites in the temporal cortex, especially in the hippocampus and nearby subcortical regions.

Molaison and Sufferers like him then to repeat comments and questions several times and they also fail to recognize people they met just minutes before.
