Although FRN amplitude variation has been reported in response to heightened stimulus saliency or heightened subjective motivational significance (Gehring and Willoughby, 2002; Yeung et al., 2005) of the respective stimulus, the way in which this salient outcome is delivered had no impact on FRN amplitude size per se in the current study.
Overall, it is plausible that in outside urban environments it is the presence of many people, the heightened stimulus environment, and the stress and anxiety generated that exacerbates paranoia, thereby limiting the social contact of people with psychosis.
A product of heightened stimuli, this is known to diminish our attention capability.
Patients with FM display diffuse hyperalgesia (i.e., increased response to painful stimuli) and/or allodynia (i.e., a heightened sensitivity to stimuli that are not normally painful).
Changes in the perpetrator's neurotransmitters lead to a heightened sensitivity to environmental stimuli, anxiety, and conditioned fear.
The final common pathway of both dysfunctions is a heightened cortical response to repeated stimuli, i.e. a lack of habituation.
These results favour a migraine cycle-dependent imbalance between excitation and inhibition in the visual cortex that results in a heightened cortical response to repeated stimuli, i.e. a lack of habituation.
Typically the female patients are of peri- or post menopausal age, report a preceding upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) and have a heightened cough reflex to tussive stimuli [ 16].
As shown in the figure, the interactions of stimulus concentration, age group, and genetic taste status reveal a heightened degree of increase in perceived intensity for the high concentration stimuli in the older participants (Cohen's d = 0.36, i.e., small) and in supertasters (Cohen's d = 0.61, i.e., medium).
Changes in the PVT RT of sleepy subjects are considered to reflect lapsing, a heightened tendency for microsleep which can lead to missed stimuli or extremely slow responses, and cognitive slowing, the overall increase in response latencies [33].
We give them a heightened platform".
