Abstract
One possible cause of motion sickness is discrepant information between visual and vestibular systems. Individual differences in handedness is associated with anomalous cortical vestibular and magnocellular organization, suggesting handedness differences in motion sickness. Increasing consistent-right-handedness was associated with increasing adulthood motion sickness. Increased motion sickness propensity in women replicated others.
