  2. Sensory overload - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_overload

    When people with fibromyalgia are subjected to intense stimuli, they experience sensory overload in the form of pain. It is theorized that abnormal activity of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and reduced production of or reception to serotonin are partially responsible for the sensation of pain in response to intense stimuli. [29]

  3. Sensory processing sensitivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_processing_sensitivity

    People with high SPS report having a heightened response to stimuli such as pain, caffeine, hunger, and loud noises. [6] According to Boterberg et al., these individuals are "believed to be easily overstimulated by external stimuli because they have a lower perceptual threshold and process stimuli cognitively deeper than most other people."

  4. Transfusion-associated circulatory overload - Wikipedia

    A patient may be receiving blood due to any number of causes and may have heart or kidney dysfunction which can lead to excess fluid. Upon transfusion of the blood product, the patient is overwhelmed by the excess fluid and develops symptoms related to volume overload. [citation needed]

  5. Sensory processing disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_processing_disorder

    Dunn's nosology uses two criteria: [84] response type (passive vs. active) and sensory threshold to the stimuli (low or high) creating four subtypes or quadrants: [85] High neurological thresholds; Low registration: high threshold with passive response. Individuals who do not pick up on sensations and therefore partake in passive behavior. [86]

  6. Pain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pain

    Most pain resolves once the noxious stimulus is removed and the body has healed, but it may persist despite removal of the stimulus and apparent healing of the body. Sometimes pain arises in the absence of any detectable stimulus, damage or disease. [3] Pain is the most common reason for physician consultation in most developed countries.

  7. Pain tolerance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pain_tolerance

    Pain tolerance is the maximum level of pain that a person is able to tolerate. Pain tolerance is distinct from pain threshold (the point at which pain begins to be felt). [1] The perception of pain that goes in to pain tolerance has two major components. First is the biological component—the headache or skin prickling that activates pain ...

  9. Sensory gating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_gating

    Since people with schizophrenia can often have an overload of attended stimuli, the P50 wave may serve a critical role in illuminating sensory gating at a neurological level. [5] Currently the test has been conducted on mice, and results have been identical to human subjects in that brain activity has decreased on the second sound.
