In case anyone would like to know the science behind this –

Part of team brain response to survival is an outpouring of stress hormones like norepinephrine and cortisol that flood the body during stress. Like the amygdala, they also help us survive. Let’s see how they work.

 

A collection of brain cells (or neurons) in the brain stem (the part of the brain at the back of your neck that controls basic functions like breathing and being awake) contains the majority of the stress hormone, adrenaline, in the brain.

Technically, it is known as noradrenaline (norepinephrine) when it occurs in the brain and adrenaline (epinephrine) in the body, but I refer to both using the commonly known term “adrenaline.”

 

When there’s a threat, adrenaline is released everywhere, signals all parts of the brain to pay attention, and triggers all parts of the body to be ready. Adrenaline makes blood pressure go up and heart rate increase so that you can deliver more blood to your brain, muscles, and the other parts of the body important to survival.

The fear part of the brain, the amygdala, may be over-active, and the parts of the brain involved in memory and emotion and turning off the fear response (the hippocampus and frontal cortex) may not turn on normally.
