Neurons in the area post-stremat and the chemoreceptor trigger zone are responsible for triggering motor reflexes in the abdominal wall, leading to nausea and vomiting, which could be beneficial in an adaptive circumstance, but certain people can experience it for other reasons as well. Interestingly, the neurons also respond to our consciousness, things we believe, and specific memories.
