Topic: dishabituation

Neuronal circuits universally recognize novel stimuli, but unpredicted features in a stimulus amplify its importance, shaping attentive reactions. Habituation, the gradual reduction of responses to repetitive stimuli, and its counterpart, dishabituation, the reversal of habituated responses upon exposure to novel stimuli, are fundamental processes that organisms employ to navigate their environment efficiently. Although mechanisms driving Habituation/Dishabituation remain partly understood, the communication within neuronal circuits, which ostensibly underlies these choices, is an emerging fie
