Insights into how short-term stimulation can alter sustained brain activities and their underlying processes. Brain research is one of the most crucial fields in modern life sciences, and "emotion" is one of its major topics. Traditionally, the study of emotions in animals has been a complex area,
Humans and animals detect different stimuli such as light, sound, and odor through nerve cells, which then transmit the information to the brain. Nerve cells must be able to adjust to the wide range of stimuli they receive, which can range from very weak to very strong. To do this, they may become more or less sensitive to stimuli (sensitization and habituation), or they may become more sensitive to weaker stimuli and less sensitive to stronger stimuli for better overall responsiveness (gain control). However, the exact way this happens is not yet understood.
