 | | Such spinal and spino-bulbo-spinal somato-sympathetic reflex pathways to sympathetic preganglionic neurones innervating the adrenal medullae, which are activated by noxious stimulation, have been shown to exist in experiments in which activity in the adrenal nerve and release of catecholamines from the adrenal medullae have been measured. | | | The reflex pathways mediating the activation of the preganglionic neurones innervating the adrenal medullae are spinal and supraspinal; these reflex pathways are under inhibitory control maintained by activity in vagal afferents. | | | A spino-bulbo-spinal pathway is activated together with a spinal pathway by the noxious input, leading to the reflex activation of the preganglionic neurones innervating the adrenal medullae. |

| | The pituitary adrenal system is very sensitive to changes in an animal's environment. | | | One consequence of this operation is the loss of ACTH from the anterior pituitary which may be responsible for the profound disruption of avoidance learning in these rats. | | | De Weid has found that adrenalectomised rats make more avoidance responses under extinction conditions than intact rats. |

| | In CFS and burnout the HPA axis becomes suppressed, resulting in the various physical and mental symptoms associated with these conditions. | | | Endorphins are thought to be important in reducing pain during times of stress. | | | The HPA axis, which has traditionally been seen as the body's "stress system", and which ultimately controls levels of cortisol and other important stress related hormones, is generally underactive in people suffering from CFS and burnout. |
