Are there any studies on why we get goosebumps and experience tingling sensations throughout our bodies and faces in response to disgust or revulsion, and what mechanisms underlie these reactions?

When I see an image of something disgusting or imagine a particular disturbing scenario, I sometimes experience an intense tingling sensation throughout my entire body and face, accompanied by trembling and goosebumps.

I had a strange dream last night in which I saw my grandmother with all her teeth missing, leaving behind only some bizarre, plant-stem-like structures embedded in her gums. I have been experiencing persistent tingling sensations throughout my body ever since.

They're distinguishing between the hindbrain, which evolved before vertebrates & invertebrates split, and the forebrain which evolved in vertebrates. Saying "You don't have one brain, you have two" is an oversimplification.

I hope Scientific American reads this & informs their team that they need to cease using the term "lizard brain". I cringe every time I hear a scientist use it. It undermines whatever else they say.

This video is dedicated to the brilliant scientist Barbara L. Finlay, my long-time collaborator and friend, who passed away last month. Her research "transformed the scientific understanding of how brains evolve, develop, and scale across species." www.lansingfuneralhome.com/obituaries/b...
