Stress also releases catecholamines such as noradrenaline, which can enlarge the amygdale (structures involved in the processing of fear), also impairing memory and the ability to distinguish a true memory from a false or implanted one.

This can be achieved through meditation exercises or by something as simple as regular power naps, and means the body taps into a different hormone: noradrenaline.

Norepinephrine noradrenaline: produced in the brain stem, this neurotransmitter activates the sympathetic nervous system, setting off the fight-or-flight response, and causes the adrenal glands to produce epinephrine.

SO STRESSED William Kent Krueger 2010

Anxiety, anger, or fear causes stress in labor, which produces excessive catecholamines (stress hormones) such as epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline).
