In a patient with a diffuse axonal injury in a prolonged coma, autonomic dysfunction causes finding Autonomic dysfunction causes excessive sweating, hyperthermia, and hypertension.

An unusually high body temperature is known as hyperthermia. Hypothermia, which occurs when your body is too cold, is the opposite of it. When your body absorbs or produces more heat than it is able to expel, hyperthermia results.

When blood pressure is excessively high, it is called hypertension. Two numbers are used to represent blood pressure. When the heart beats or contracts, the first number indicates the pressure in blood vessels. The pressure in the veins between heartbeats is shown by the second number.

Sweating dysfunction can appear in many different forms, such as essential hyperhidrosis, total anhidrosis with heat sensitivity, and compensatory hyperhidrosis as a result of anhidrosis. It frequently signifies the presence of underlying central or peripheral autonomic dysfunction.

Thalamus to amygdala.

The fear response and all the other response is directly or indirectly controlled by the nervous system. The fear response may take time because the information needs to travel from the thalamus region to the amygdala region of the brain.
