Sensitization

Sensitization is a psychological phenomenon whereby repeated exposure to a stimulus results in the progressive enhancement of a response that is not specific to the original stimulus. The concept has been studied using the reflexes of animals such as Aplysia to better understand the underlying neural mechanisms. Research on sensitization includes a range…
