Abstract：
:Sopite syndrome, centered around the drowsiness, lethargy, and irritability associated with motion sickness, can be induced by exposure to low-frequency motion. It is known that the vestibular apparatus plays an important role in the pathogenesis of motion sickness, which features several autonomic responses, and we have previously documented increased vestibular modulation of skin sympathetic nerve activity (SSNA) and an increase in skin blood flow associated with nausea. Here, we assessed whether imperceptibly slow sinusoidal motion, sufficient to induce sopite syndrome but not nausea, also modulates SSNA and skin blood flow. Participants were seated upright and exposed to a randomized set of sinusoidal linear accelerations, ranging from 0.03 Hz at 0.5 mG to 0.2 Hz at 5 mG, via a motorized platform. At all frequencies vestibular modulation was greater than the cardiac modulation of SSNA, but cardiac modulation and skin blood flow were both significantly lower during the motion than at baseline. We conclude that sopite syndrome is associated with a marked modulation of sympathetic outflow to the skin and cutaneous vasoconstriction.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Little is known about the autonomic consequences of sopite syndrome-the drowsiness that can be induced by low-amplitude cyclic motion. We recorded skin sympathetic nerve activity (SSNA) in seated participants exposed to slow sinusoidal linear acceleration (0.03-0.2 Hz), which preferentially activates hair cells in the utricular part of the otolithic organs, at amplitudes that generated no sensations of motion. At all frequencies, there was a clear vestibular modulation of SSNA and cutaneous vasoconstriction.
