What is the relationship between sensory adaptation and negative adaptation?

Sensory adaptation refers to the decreased response of sensory receptors to a constant stimulus, leading to reduced perception of that stimulus over time. Negative adaptation, on the other hand, involves a decrease in the overall response of a system to a stimulus due to prolonged exposure. While sensory adaptation is specific to sensory receptors, negative adaptation is a more general phenomenon that can occur across various systems in response to prolonged stimulation.
