Habituation is a decrease in response strength caused by repeated stimulation of a sensory neuron that synapses with a motor neuron. This decrease in response strength occurs at the synapse between the sensory neuron and the motor neuron, which is homosynaptic. Sensitization, on the other hand, is an increase in response strength caused by exposure to a strong or noxious stimulus. This increase in response strength can occur at multiple synapses, including synapses that are not directly involved in the original stimulus, making it heterosynaptic.
