Robert M. Sapolsky Quote
The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) mediates the body’s response to arousing circumstances, for example, producing the famed fight or flight stress response. To use the feeble joke told to first-year medical students, the SNS mediates the four Fs—fear, fight, flight, and sex. Particular midbrain/brain-stem nuclei send long SNS projections down the spine and on to outposts throughout the body, where the axon terminals release the neurotransmitter norepinephrine.
