For some stimuli only representative studies or review papers are cited. Only the most common mammalian species used in the study of emesis and malaise are shown. A common set of emetic and nauseogenic stimuli, including cytotoxic drugs, intragastric irritants, etc., are included, but a few less commonly used stimuli are also listed because they demonstrate the broad spectrum of stimuli that can produce emesis, CFA, and pica.
