I've heard of autonomic storms only in the context of spinal cord
injury, so  if anyone can answer the above query, please tell me also!

HOWEVER the terms conjures up ideas.  IF the storm included increased
noradrenergic activity in the BRAIN, it might have an effect similar to
exogenously administered adrenergic agents which seem to promote
plasticity and regrowth...
