hyperactivated
Switched into overdrive
Hyperactivated describes something pushed into a state of unusually high or excessive activity.
The term appears most often in scientific contexts—hyperactivated immune cells, hyperactivated sperm (which swim with exaggerated motion to penetrate an egg), hyperactivated genes.
Outside technical use, it suggests something artificially or abnormally ramped up: The drug left her immune system hyperactivated.
