A Study of Opportunities for Research on Motion Sickness.
Abstract
The study was undertaken to review work in this field and to identify new approaches to an understanding of the fundamental causes of motion sickness. It includes a brief overview of present research and suggests possible applications of advances in a number of biomedical disciplines that provide opportunities for research. The study discusses the lack of a universally accepted definition of motion sickness, the need to investigate specific stimuli that evoke motion sickness, opportunities for studies on the anatomy and physiology of the vestibular apparatus of animals and man, and how evolving knowledge of the neurochemistry of the central and autonomic nervous systems may be applicable to understanding some basic considerations of motion sickness.
