Term Name: positive regulation of response to stimulus
Synonyms: activation of response to stimulus, stimulation of response to stimulus, up regulation of response to stimulus, up-regulation of response to stimulus, upregulation of response to stimulus
Definition: Any process that activates, maintains or increases the rate of a response to a stimulus. Response to stimulus is a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus.
