  1. Discover how gravity impacts brain function and cognition in this insightful article from BBC Science Focus Magazine.

  2. Mar 1, 2021 · As lifetime intellectual engagement and education appears to positively affect brain structure (Coffey et al., 1999) and slow onset of brain pathology (e.g., slow β-amyloid plaque deposition; Wirth et al., 2014), astronauts may already benefit from certain life course neuroprotections. Astronauts must also meet basic fitness and health requirements, including corrected 20/20 vision, blood ...

  3. Mar 25, 2019 · Gravity is a relentless fact of life on Earth. With each change in posture, the vector of all hydrostatic pressure gradients is altered, and regional pressures affected. Due to the elongated shape of the human body, our cardiovascular system is particularly sensitive and when upright gravity reduces cardiac output by remarkable 2 L/min.

  4. Jun 2, 2019 · Here we show that alteration of brain structure during spaceflight is likely progressive on the basis of mission duration, affects the younger astronauts, and correlates with postflight changes in motor and cognitive performance. These findings suggest that the brain changes seen with microgravity have measurable behavioral consequences.

  5. Abstract. Background and purpose: Widespread brain structural changes are seen following extended spaceflight missions. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether these structural changes are associated with alterations in motor or cognitive function. Materials and methods: Brain MR imaging scans of National Aeronautics and Space ...
