cold shock releases a burst of norepinephrine from locus coeruleus which enhances focus and attention.
Heat shock followed immediately by cold shock has been shown to cause a massive release in norepinephrine from the locus coeruleus.
one of the most Rob uh responses to cold stress that I have seen in the literature um is the robust increase in norepinephrine in the locus culus region of the brain
