Researchers have identified a neural pathway in mice that triggers fainting, which could provide insights into the causes of fainting in humans. The study also found that a drug used to treat gastrointestinal conditions could potentially prevent motion sickness. The research paper published in Nature discusses the role of vagal sensory neurons in the Bezold-Jarisch reflex and syncope. The findings offer a better understanding of the mechanisms behind fainting. In another study, scientists have developed an 'electronic nose' that can detect Parkinson's disease before observable symptoms occur.
