stimulované

Stimulované is a Czech term functioning as a past passive participle and as an adjective derived from the verb stimulovat (to stimulate). It describes something that has been subjected to stimulation or produced by stimulation. The form agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number, so the same word form can appear in different grammatical contexts.

In scientific usage the word is common across disciplines. In physics it appears in expressions such as stimulovaná emise, referring to stimulated emission of radiation, a mechanism underlying laser operation. In biology and medicine it can describe cells or tissues that have been activated or influenced by a stimulus, for example stimulované buňky. In psychology or neuroscience it may describe reactions or neural processes that are elicited by a particular stimulus.

Etymology and variation: stimulované is formed from the Czech verb stimulovat, which itself comes from the Latin stimulare. The word may take several gender and number forms (for example stimulovaný, stimulovaná, stimulované, stimulovaní) to match different nouns within a sentence.

See also: stimulace, stimulátor, stimulace procesů. The exact meaning of stimulované depends on the context and the noun it accompanies; it always signals that stimulation has occurred or been induced.
