This is a really interesting enquiry . Some somebody are thrill and risk seeker , but the nervous correlates of that trait are not known . One hypothesis is that region of the brain that are sensitive to fear also signal reward as well . The combining would predict fear - seeking behaviors . This is just a hypothesis . I do not screw of any evidence for it .
