Norepinephrine (noradrenaline) is a neurotransmitter and hormone that plays a key role in arousal, attention, and the stress response. It is produced in the locus coeruleus (brainstem) and adrenal medulla.
Key Effects
- •Alertness — increases wakefulness and vigilance
- •Attention — enhances focus on salient stimuli
- •Inhibitory control — supports suppression of impulsive reactions
- •Signal-to-noise — improves extraction of signal from noise
In ONDA Life
Part 7 "Neural Clarity (Norepinephrine)" utilizes norepinephrine modulation to enhance alertness and inhibitory control over impulsive reactions. Metacognitive monitoring trains the medial PFC to separate objective facts from subjective interpretations.
Scientific Basis
Built on: Polyvagal Theory (Porges); Psychoneuroimmunology (Ader & Cohen); neuroplasticity research.
