In several cell types, there was a decrease in responsiveness to stimulation by certain cytokines (Fig. 2A).

Anhedonia, a core symptom of depression, was modelled by inducing a decrease in responsiveness to rewards reflected by a reduced consumption and/or preference of sweetened solutions.

This is consistent with findings in Drosophila showing that prolonged exposure to an odorant induces structural changes in the antennal lobes correlated with a decrease in responsiveness to that odorant [47].

This could be the result of basic processes such as habituation (non-associative, elemental learning resulting in a decrease in responsiveness to a prolonged or repeatedly experienced stimulus [33]) or sensory adaptation, at the receptor level [34].

For example, a decrease in responsiveness of the small-spiking neuron of rare ECB(E) males to Z12 14 OAc may alter the firing ratio relative to the large-spiking neuron in a way that allows the ACB blend to mimic the ECB(E) blend [22].
