Motion sickness, also known as motion sickness or carsickness, is a physiological response caused by excessive movement stimulation of the vestibular system of the inner ear when taking a vehicle such as a car, a ship, an airplane, etc., resulting in a disturbance of balance sensation. When the vehicle accelerates, decelerates, turns or bumps, the human vestibular organ senses this change in movement, but the visual and other sensory systems may not be able to perceive the same motion information synchronously, causing uncoordinated signals to be transmitted to the brain, causing confusion in the brain's processing of this information, resulting in a series of uncomfortable symptoms. Specific manifestations of motion sickness include, but are not limited to, dizziness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, paleness, cold sweats, palpitation, and mental depression. Individuals experience and tolerate motion sickness very differently, with some people experiencing motion sickness only in extreme cases, while others may be quite sensitive to light motor stimuli. For people who suffer from frequent motion sickness, taking some precautions can significantly reduce their discomfort.
