There are interesting relationships between the physical and emitional aspects of panic - I spent a goodly bit of time working through those last year. I would have to think (from looking closely at it in mine own head) that it definitely begins in the brane, and that triggers the physical stuff (as in, just thinking about certain things would make me have the physical reaction, but the thinking would be the first thing). And then the physical reaction feeds back into the emotional bit (like, my legs have tensed up so there *must* be a reason to be scared) and it gets very circular. So *there* it's working both ways, but I'm sure is triggered by the brane, initially.

Of course, that's malfunctioning brane and not normal functioning brane.

Branes are interesting!
