receives input from following sources:
a- CTZ [monitors blood and CSF]
b- Vagus NTS - Splanchnic afferents [gut]
c- Cerebral cortex [anticipatory]
d- Vestibular apparatus [motion sickness]
Drugs MAO's are:
-5HT3 antagonists [ondansetron]
-D2 antagnists [metoclopramide/promethazine]
-H1 antagonists [cyclizine]
-M antagonists [scopolamine-famous transdermal patch for motion sickness]

-corticosteroids are also supplemented in particular to control CTZ induced!
