People may habituate to unchanging stimuli, meaning their brain gets used to it and stops perceiving it as relevant. This leads to decreased attention and response. Over time, the brain filters out unchanging stimuli to focus on new or changing information that could be more important for survival.

Can cells remain metabolically active but quit dividing?

Yes, cells can remain metabolically active while ceasing to divide; this state is known as senescence. During senescence, cells continue to perform essential functions, such as producing proteins and responding to stimuli, but they exit the cell cycle and stop proliferating. This phenomenon is often a response to stress, damage, or aging, serving as a protective mechanism to prevent the propagation of damaged cells. Examples include differentiated cells in tissues that are not actively dividing, such as neurons and muscle cells.


Why is it helpful that some sensory receptors quickly adapt but other receptors slowly adapt?

fast adapting sensory receptors (for example smell) adapt rapidly because a foul smell can not cause harm to your body the brain quickly gets used to it. However slow/no adapting receptors is for safety. If something did not hurt, you would continue to do it even though it causes harm to your body. If touching a hot stove didn't hurt, then we wouldn't ever stop. Our body does not adapt to this heat because it is giving us a warning sign to stop before we damage the skin.
