Arousal
Arousal refers to a state of alertness and mental and physical activation. It is an activation in any of the body's systems (e.g., activation of the sympathetic nervous system or the cerebral cortex). Arousal as a general term has resisted definition, because sometimes one system is activated while another is not.
