progressive amplification of a response following repeated administration of a stimulus

decrease in response to a stimulus after repeated exposure over time

allows us to tune out unimportant shit

what happens to neurons when stimulus is terminated after habituation

Answer 37

that shit returns to baseline

what is facilitation

Answer 38

some neurons in a state of subthreshold excitation. this makes them always ready to GO. (less stimulation is required to trigger the discharge of impulses)

increase in afferent input, fucked up patterns of that input, or fucked up neurons or their chemical environment
