What is Epinephrine’s Role?
Epinephrine is implicated in arousal, whether this takes the form of anxiety, excitement, or fear. Within the body, adrenaline acts in such a way as to maintain an activated state, allowing a higher state of energy to be produced. What is NorEpinephrine’s Role? Norepinephrine functions to improve memory, attention and allows us to inhibit certain behaviors via its stimulation of certain specific neuronal receptors (alpha 2 adrenergic receptor). It is also produced (like epinephrine) in the adrenal glands in response to stress. Many studies implicate nor-epinephrine neurotransmitter system dysfunctions in causing attentional deficit disorders. It is likely that insufficient stimulus of the norepinephrine receptor in the brain promotes attentional deficits. This disorder may be due to inadequate production of norepinephrine or to abnormalities in the receptor for this hormone. 3.
