"Students gained one mark for correctly identifying adrenaline (epinephrine) as the neurohormone, and another for stating its role in activating the fight/flight, or arousal, response. Alternatively, students could state that adrenaline stimulates the release of noradrenaline (norepinephrine), which activates the amygdala. Two further marks were allocated for identifying the amygdala as the relevant brain region, with its role being the consolidation of emotional memories. Students could include reference to the hippocampus working with the amygdala, but it needed to be clear that it is the amygdala that is responsible for processing/consolidating/‘involved in storing’ emotional memories, not the hippocampus on its own. "
(The question indirectly asked about the role of adrenaline)

Thank you so much for the responses, i'll probably use a pattern or something for the graph. Do you think I should I say specialised neurons (because I want the examiner to know that I know that adrenaline is a neurohormone and not just an ordinary hormone). And thanks for the advice about the last part, i'll make sure to explain how the consolidation occurs using at least a sentence or two. Thanks again
I'd only bother if your response was part of a 10 marker.
