Central adaptation refers to the process by which the central nervous system (CNS) adjusts its response to stimuli over time, reducing its sensitivity to constant or repetitive signals. This mechanism helps the brain filter out irrelevant information, allowing it to focus on new or changing stimuli instead. It plays a crucial role in sensory perception, helping individuals adapt to their environment and maintain cognitive efficiency. Central adaptation can occur in various sensory modalities, including pain, touch, and hearing.
