	Postgraduate Medicine: Motion sickness
		Characteristically, motion sickness begins with epigastric discomfort, often described as "stomach awareness," which is usually accompanied by increased salivation, eructation, and a feeling of bodily warmth.
		The cause of motion sickness is generally considered to be a mismatch of vestibular and visual sensations.
		Motion sickness occurs most commonly with acceleration in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body, which is why head movements away from the direction of motion are so provocative.

	Motion Sickness (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Motion sickness, or kinetosis, is not a pathological condition, but is a normal response to certain motion stimuli with which the individual is unfamiliar and to which he or she is, therefore, unadapted; only those without a functioning vestibular apparatus of the inner ear are truly immune.
		The motion sickness syndrome is also produced by certain moving visual stimuli, without any physical motion of the observer; the external visual world display of fixed-base simulators (simulator sickness) or a large-screen projection of scenes taken from a moving vehicle (Cinerama or IMAX sickness) are examples.
		On exposure to provocative motion, the signs and symptoms of motion sickness develop in a definite sequence, the time scale being dependent upon the intensity of the motion stimuli and the susceptibility of the individual.

		In these cases, motion sickness symptoms were not linked to sensory conflict, but rather to a decreased ability to actively control the body's postural motion.
