Motion sickness - what does this mean
Motion sickness is a type of nausea and dizziness that occurs when the body senses movement from transportation, such as a car, boat, or plane, but the eyes do not see it. this mismatch between the body and the eyes causes the brain to become confused, resulting in symptoms such as sweating, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting.
What happens during the disease - motion sickness
Motion sickness is caused by a conflict between the visual and vestibular systems. when the eyes detect motion, they send signals to the brain indicating movement, while the vestibular system in the inner ear senses the body's motion and sends signals to the brain indicating no movement. this conflict between the two systems causes the brain to become confused, resulting in the symptoms of motion sickness.
