Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The locus coeruleus is involved in the body's response to stress and panic, releasing norepinephrine (noradrenaline) in response to stress signals. Hearing a gunshot, stepping on a shard of glass, and unexpectedly being fired at work are all stress-inducing stimuli that would likely increase firing and adrenaline release by the locus coeruleus. Earning a bonus for working overtime, although generally a positive event, can also be linked to increased stress and pressure, thus potentially activating the locus coeruleus.
