RESUMO
The sensation of nausea is one of the most debilitating human experiences. Current antiemetic therapies are effective in reducing vomiting, but are less effective in reducing acute and delayed nausea and are completely ineffective in reducing anticipatory nausea. Recent preclinical evidence using a selective rat model of nausea (conditioned gaping reactions) has revealed that cannabinoids have great promise as treatments for nausea and that their antinausea effects may be mediated by the interoceptive insular cortex.
