Habituation is a decrease in response to a repeated stimulus and primarily involves changes at the synapse between sensory neurons and motor neurons (homosynaptic). Sensitization is an increased response to a stimulus and involves the facilitation of the sensory neuron by an interneuron, affecting multiple synapses (heterosynaptic).
