Sensitize
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 of phenomena including drug sensitization and cross-sensitization, where a response is enhanced for a whole class of stimuli in addition to the original repeated stimulus. It has also been implicated in the pathologies of various health disorders.
