I have no idea what made you think that the adrenal gland has anything to do with someones "sense of power", or why you specified the medulla. I can tell that you're trying to sound smart here, but the notion that a secretory gland plays a part in cognition at that level is just laughable. Although the gland interacts with the peripheral nervous system, it is not really part of it, and it is far removed from the central nervous system. I can only imagine that you meant to reference the brain region medulla oblongata, but considering that is one of the lowest brain structures in our CNS it would be incredibly difficult to make an argument that it is involved in any form of cognition. If you want to sound smart you should at least do a minimum of research before writing.
To say that the adrenal gland is removed from the CNS made me cringe.... Aggression, and fear both stimulate the adrenal gland secretions, and these are cortical constructs, which information travels through the spinal cord, to the PNS and to the adrenal gland to make you powerful enough to fight or run away. Although the "sense of power" perhaps may not have that much to do with the adrenal medulla, saying the adrenal gland is removed from the CNS is much bigger scientific blasphemy in my book, and it even triggered my own adrenal secretions.
The adrenal gland is in no way a central nervous system structure. Your adrenal gland can be found next to your kidneys. Are we considering kidneys CNS now? The gland receives signals from the CNS, but this does not make it a CNS structure. The adrenal gland is downstream of the pituitary gland, who's inclusion in the CNS is debatable due to its unique blood supply outside of the blood brain barrier. The pituitary gland receives signals from the hypothalamus, which is undoubtedly a CNS structure. So I would say that the adrenal gland, which may I say again sits above your kidneys, is most certainly not a central nervous system structure, and is even steps removed from the CNS. Either way, suggesting that any cognition occurs within a hormone secreting gland is ridiculous.
