Equilibrium and Balance01:15

Equilibrium and Balance

The inner ear assumes dual functionalities of auditory perception and equilibrium maintenance. The vestibule is the organ responsible for balance. This organ contains mechanoreceptors, specifically hair cells, endowed with stereocilia, which aid in deciphering information regarding the position and motion of our heads. Two intrinsic components, the utricle and saccule, help perceive head position, while the semicircular canals track head movement. Neurological messages initiated in the...
Pathophysiology of Vomiting01:22

Pathophysiology of Vomiting

Vomiting is a complex physiological response to expel harmful or irritating substances from the body. It's a defensive mechanism triggered by stimuli like poisons, microbial toxins, cytotoxic drugs, and mechanical abdominal distension. The process is centrally coordinated by the vomiting (or emetic) center located in the medulla of the brainstem. This area, rich in muscarinic M1, histamine H1, neurokinin 1 (NK1), and serotonin 5-HT3 receptors, coordinates the act of vomiting through interaction...

Area of Science:

  • Human physiology
  • Neuroscience
  • Visual perception

Background:

  • Motion sickness is a common human experience linked to physical motion.
  • Visually induced motion sickness (VIMS) can occur even without physical motion, solely from visual stimuli.
  • Understanding VIMS is crucial as visual displays become more prevalent.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss general motion sickness.
  • To review recent research findings on visually induced motion sickness (VIMS).
  • To present results from three distinct lines of VIMS investigation.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of general motion sickness.
  • Experimental investigations into VIMS.
  • Analysis of subjective and objective VIMS responses.

Main Results:

  • VIMS can be triggered by specific visual display characteristics.
  • Individual susceptibility to VIMS varies.
  • Further research is needed to fully elucidate VIMS mechanisms.

Conclusions:

  • Visually induced motion sickness is a distinct phenomenon from traditional motion sickness.
  • The reviewed studies provide insights into the triggers and variability of VIMS.
  • Future research should focus on mitigation strategies for VIMS.
