Answer:

repolarization  

Explanation:

Potassium channel blockers are drugs that interfere with the flow of potassium ions (K+) through potassium channels in cell membranes, thereby prolonging the duration of the action potential (repolarization phase). For example, amiodarone is a class III antiarrhythmic agent whose target is HERG human cardiac K+ channel. This drug (amiodarone) acts by prolonging the repolarization phase of the cardiac action potential.

It is deemed as the stress hormone as it is released as a response to stress as part of the fight or flight process. From studies, cortisol was found to have effect on the hippocampus when present in high levels. It damage and kill the cells in that area of the brain.
