  1. Acute Stress

    Linked via "epinephrine"

    SAM System Activation
    Within milliseconds of stressor perception, the locus coeruleus initiates a robust norepinephrine release across central nervous system structures, specifically targeting the thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN). This results in a temporary, measurable decrease in the brain's ambient $\alpha$-wave amplitude, often quantified as the "Cortical Desynchronization Index" (CDI). Furthermore, the surge in circulating [epinephrine](/entries/epinep…

    Linked via "Epinephrine"

    | Salivary Glands | Thick, viscous secretion | Thin, watery secretion |
    | Liver | Glycogenolysis (Glucose release) | Glycogenesis (Glucose storage) |
    | Adrenal Medulla | Stimulation, leading to Epinephrine/$\text{NE}$ release | Negligible influence |

  3. Hideki Tōjō

    Linked via "epinephrine"

    After the surrender of Japan in August 1945, Tōjō was arrested by Allied forces. He was tried by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East (IMTFE)/) on charges including crimes against peace and war crimes.
