High Sensitivity and Neurotransmitters
The autonomic nervous system controls our vital functions, organs, and organ systems. It is controlled by neurotransmitters and cannot be influenced by our consciousness.
According to research by Jerome Kagan, highly sensitive persons (HSP) a higher concentration of norepinephrine in the blood.
This neurotransmitter is responsible for the highly developed attention system of the highly sensitive persons and the associated intensive processing of sensory impressions.
Norepinephrine activates the brain . HSP are always ready for mental deployment. In highly sensitive infants a higher heart rate can be measured.
Because the autonomic nervous system is permanently set to "vigilance," it leads more quickly to adrenaline release .
