"This is indeed a small stimulus.
As a result you will experience more exaggerated responses from minor stimuli such as a slight movement.
An exacerbated sensitivity to apparently minor stimuli and a general resilience of the entire system stay together side-by-side in biological systems.
Emotional stress normally stimulates sweating in these areas, but in hyperhidrosis excessive sweating may follow minor stimuli or no obvious stimulus at all.
These results suggest that sound source information might be communicated by major onomatopoeic stimuli more correctly than by minor stimuli.
Given minor stimuli could result in profound physiological changes, it is crucial to ensure consistency, minimalized interindividual discrepancies, and enhanced information recovery when designing metabolomic studies [73].
As Zandi points out, the government spent "a minor amount" of stimulus money in the first quarter, which jumped to $100 billion in the second quarter and another $100 billion in the third quarter.
In contrast to findings with humans, these results suggest that past experience plays a minor role in how stimuli are encoded in animal conditioning.
For instance, gamma-aminobutyric acid and dopamine are also released from the LC, albeit to a minor extent, after arousal stimuli (Singewald and Philippu 1998).
