Wikipedia
sensitisation
Sensitization is a non-associative learning process in which repeated administration of a stimulus results in the progressive amplification of a response. Sensitization often is characterized by an enhancement of response to a whole class of stimuli in addition to the one that is repeated. For example, repetition of a painful stimulus may make one more responsive to a loud noise.

sensitisation
Sensitisation refers to a process whereby a person or organism's response to a particular stimulus becomes more pronounced or intense due to repeated exposure to that stimulus. It often relates to heightened neurological responses and is typically associated with increased responsiveness, awareness, or susceptibility. This process can occur in various contexts, such as in allergic reactions, addiction, psychological trauma, and even in learning and memory processes.
