(n.) The act of arousing, or the state of being aroused.
Example Sentences:
(1) All subjects showed a period of fetishistic arousal to women's clothes during adolescence.
(2) Cadavers have a multitude of possible uses--from the harvesting of organs, to medical education, to automotive safety testing--and yet their actual utilization arouses profound aversion no matter how altruistic and beneficial the motivation.
(3) A control experiment demonstrated that changes in general arousal could not account for the effects of task difficulty on neuronal responses.
(4) EEG arousal diminished as a function of distance, while arousal for direct gaze was always higher than for averted gaze, whatever the distance.
(5) He was held there for another eight months in conditions that aroused widespread condemnation , including being held in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day and being made to strip naked at night.
(6) The average vlaues of the correlation coefficients were found to increase from arousal through slow synchronized sleep (S sleep), reaching the highest value in REM sleep.
(7) To produce intramodal arousal, normal subjects also had EEG recordings made during the random sounding of a loud bell.
(8) Noxious conditioning stimulation of a tooth led to a temporary decrease of the threshold for the jaw-opening reflex elicited from a contralateral or adjacent tooth; only conditioning stimulation at an intensity producing a marked arousal reaction was effective in this respect.
(9) The auditory threshold for arousal (1,500-Hz tone beginning at 30 dB) was also tested before and after UA lidocaine.
(10) The lower phasic reactivity in the MBD group and the effects of stimulant drugs on arousal indices confirm earlier reports.
(11) The data support the hypothesis that the learning decrement found among older men is not simply a manifestation of structural change in the central nervous system but is, at least in part, associated with the heightened arousal of the autonomic nervous system that accompanies the learning task.
(12) Distal stimuli emanating from the female or pups induce proximity by provoking orientation, attention and arousal; the meaning of these stimuli is largely learned by conditioned associations during the initial executions of the behavior, although odors may have a prepotent influence for some individuals.
(13) These results support the hypothesis that amphetamine-induced stereotyped behavior functions to reduce stress or arousal and additionally suggest that this effect is largely independent of underlying dopaminergic mechanisms.
(14) Neuroticism was found to correlate with all the premenstrual MDQ scores except the positive aspect of increased arousal, with negative affect at both menstrual and intermenstrual phases, with menstrual pain and with intermenstrual concentration.
(15) All the present evidence suggests that the local vaginal release of VIP induces the vaginal changes of arousal.
(16) Attention to the hazards of asbestos has aroused concern among many healthy persons who have been exposed at some time to one of the world's most versatile materials.
(17) The suspicion of a Zollinger-Ellison-syndrome is aroused by therapy-resistent ulcers, which in every third person are associated with a diarrhoea, by recidivations of ulcer after gastric operations and by a large basal secretion of acid.
(18) We call RSD with these properties arousal-type RSD.
(19) The presence of cardiovascular hyperreactivity together with the absence of noncardiovascular hyperreactivity in HT indicates heightened SNS-activity specific to the cardiovascular system and not part of generalized SNS-arousal.
(20) In this study, therefore, we measured hypercapnic ventilatory responsiveness (HCVR) and spirometry in 13 healthy male subjects (18 to 30 yr of age) after two consecutive nights of severe sleep fragmentation (arousal to an auditory stimulus after each minute of sleep) and compared the results with those obtained in the same subjects after normal sleep.
