Two main signs of intelligence that neuroscientists have learned from sea slugs are habituation and sensitization. Habituation is getting used to a stimulus over time, such as tuning out noises when ...

Habituation is a non-associative learning process in which an innate response is weakened after an organism is frequently exposed to a particular stimulus. This occurs as the organism becomes ...

In contrast, neither 1 nor 6–8 hr of habituation had any effect on the ability of amphetamine to induce robust behavioral sensitization. It is concluded that the ability of a distinct ...

Researchers used electrical pulses to watch nickel oxide undergo two responses, habituation and sensitization, bolstering the case for brain-inspired computing. Scientists used the Advanced Photon ...

Repeated exposure to predators can elicit divergent coping strategies—habituation or sensitization—that are dependent on sensory inputs, internal physiological states, and prior experiences.

Up until recently, habituation—a simple form of learning—was deemed the exclusive domain of complex organisms with brains and nervous systems, such as worms, insects, birds, and mammals.

There's a term for that phenomenon, says Tali Sharot, a cognitive neuroscientist at University College London and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology: habituation. It's "our tendency to ...

The feature in question is the ability to discard a routine phenomenon that is not a threat, called “habituation,” over against a new form of stimuli that may a pose threat, called “sensitization.” ...
