amphetamine and Motion Sickness

amphetamine has been researched along with Motion Sickness in 18 studies

Amphetamine: A powerful central nervous system stimulant and sympathomimetic. Amphetamine has multiple mechanisms of action including blocking uptake of adrenergics and dopamine, stimulation of release of monamines, and inhibiting monoamine oxidase. Amphetamine is also a drug of abuse and a psychotomimetic. The l- and the d,l-forms are included here. The l-form has less central nervous system activity but stronger cardiovascular effects. The d-form is DEXTROAMPHETAMINE.
1-phenylpropan-2-amine : A primary amine that is isopropylamine in which a hydrogen attached to one of the methyl groups has been replaced by a phenyl group.
amphetamine : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of (R)-amphetamine (also known as levamphetamine or levoamphetamine) and (S)-amphetamine (also known as dexamfetamine or dextroamphetamine.

Motion Sickness: Disorder caused by motion. It includes sea sickness, train sickness, roller coaster rides, rocking chair, hammock swing, car sickness, air sickness, or SPACE MOTION SICKNESS. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting and/or dizziness.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The fact that amphetamine, a noradrenaline releaser, prevents motion sickness leads the hypothesis of Wood and Graybiel that the noradrenergic neuron system in the brain stem acts against the development of motion sickness."7.68Catecholaminergic responses to rotational stress in rat brain stem: implications for amphetamine therapy of motion sickness. ( Matsunaga, T; Morita, M; Takeda, N; Wada, H; Yamatodani, A, 1990)
"The major conclusions of this review are: 1) that selective enhancement of dopaminergic transmission, not noradrenergic, is sufficient to account for amphetamine-induced resistance and perhaps natural resistance to motion sickness; 2) the site of this enhanced dopaminergic transmission is probably within the basal ganglia; and 3) the neuropharmacology of the basal ganglia, but not the brainstem vestibular areas, can account for the therapeutic synergism of scopolamine and amphetamine."4.77Mechanisms underlying the antimotion sickness effects of psychostimulants. ( Kohl, RL; Lewis, MR, 1987)
"The present review has extended the general theory of motion sickness proposed by Wood and Graybiel [135, 136] by identifying specific neurophysiological mechanisms that are involved in motion sickness and by interpreting the actions of both scopolamine and amphetamine as effective anti-motion sickness drugs within this neurophysiological context."4.76Motion sickness: a modulatory role for the central cholinergic nervous system. ( Homick, JL; Kohl, RL, 1983)
