    Sure, makes sense. My postulation is that adrenaline is not the sole cause of decreased pain sensation during severe trauma, despite often getting the credit. Is that likely accurate in your estimation?

      No, it’s the dumping of neural transmitters as the brain dies.

      Adrenaline is a painkiller, but you’re not going to be juiced on adrenaline and calm. The calm is after

        Is adrenaline the only pain-killing mechanism the brain has at its disposal?

          What?

          I just said it wasn’t…

          There’s a whole bunch. Oxytocin, dopamine, really every endorphin is a painkiller.

            I was just looking for clarification on how likely it is that adrenaline bears sole responsibility. Reading your earlier answers did not directly address this in a way I could understand. I think we’ve resolved it now though.
