Learn why get sick when traveling by car – TVI24

If you are part of the group of people who get sick when you travel by car, know that the problem is not yours. A British Neuroscientist believed that the car causes the progress “poisoning feel” and, therefore, causes the brain to respond. . Nausea caused by some passengers are a defense mechanism for the release of the alleged poison

Dean Burnett, a professor at the University of Cardiff, UK, explains this thesis in the book “Stupid Brain: the that your head thinks “.

Traveling in the car confuses our brain because collects various signals from the body. Although the muscles little move, the eyes send the message that the person is in progress, as well as balance sensors present in the ears.

in evolutionary terms, the only thing that can cause sensory confusion as this is a neurotoxin, or poison “ , Burnett revealed in an interview with an American radio . The brain thinks, essentially that it poisoned. When the body interacts with a poisonous substance, the first thing you do is try to flush out the poison, or throw up “ , he said.

According to neuroscientist the fact that if you look out the window and see the objects move without being walking causes the brain to “shuffle.” This feeling can worsen if you choose to read, because the brain will have to deal with a greater flow of information

The brain thinks:. ‘Oh, you see, things are moving. I should be walking ‘ “

However, it was still not found the explanation for the fact that only a few people enjoarem, while others manage to resist the seasickness.

the charge of the investigation said also that there are other phenomena that prove that the brain is not suitable for some events offered by the modern world. The jet-lag, binge eating and anxiety are defense mechanisms developed to combat information to which the brain can not respond otherwise.

the brain has evolved in the regular method of our sleep cycle based on the release of melatonin in response to light levels, but is completely disoriented when we fly to destinations in different time zones “ said Burnett.
