Abstract

Motion sickness is a normal and transient response to unfamiliar or unnatural motion stimuli. The most common form of motion sickness in children appears to be car or bus sickness (travel sickness), and that produced by amusement park rides. An explanation for the causation and pathogenesis of motion sickness is provided by the neural mismatch and sensory rearrangement theory. This hypothesises that symptoms and signs of motion sickness are the result of a CNS response to unnatural motion stimuli transmitted to the vestibular nuclei, the archicerebellum, and to other brainstem, autonomic and hypothalamic areas.
