Histaminergic mechanism of motion sickness. Neurochemical and neuropharmacological studies in rats.

Rats were rotated about two parallel axes to produce motion sickness, and the histamine levels in their hypothalamus and pons-medulla oblongata were measured. Rotation for 60 min induced kaolin intake, which is a behavioral index of motion sickness in rats, and increased the histamine levels in the hypothalamus and pons-medulla oblongata, the highest levels occurring after 15 min of rotation. In bilaterally labyrinthectomized rats, no rise in histamine level was observed. alpha-Fluoromethylhistidine (alpha-FMH), which depletes the neural component of histamine in the brain, suppressed kaolin intake induced by rotation. These findings demonstrated that the histaminergic neuron system contributes to development of motion sickness, and suggested that alpha-FMH may be effective as an anti-motion sickness drug.[1]
