   Mar 1, 2021 · Evidence indicates the spaceflight environment induces adverse effects on the brain, including intracranial fluid shifts, gray matter changes, and white matter declines. Past work also suggests that the spaceflight environment induces adaptive neural effects such as sensory reweighting and neural compensation.

   While cautious interpretation is appropriate given the small sample size and number of comparisons, these findings suggest that brain structural changes are associated with changes in cognitive and motor test scores and with the development of spaceflight-associated neuro-optic syndrome.

   How does gravity affect the human body?

   • To plan long-lasting deep space missions, the effects of altered gravity on animal and human systems (in particular the immune, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, neurosensory, neuroendocrine, excretory, respiratory, metabolic and integumentary systems) should be further explored, focusing on molecular/cellular and cell-communication processes.

   Does gravity affect biology?

   • Based from these observations, there appear to be gravity-sensitive and specific pathways across biological organisms, though knowledge gaps of the effects of gravity on biology remain, such as similarities and differences across species, reproduction, development, and evolutionary adaptations, sex-differences, etc.

   How does gravity affect the cardiovascular system?

   • 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.

   How does gravity affect life on Earth?

   • Gravity has been a constant presence throughout the history of Earth, and while invisible to the human eye, has provided pivotal evolutionary direction for life on Earth. Gravity is a vector, a force that has magnitude and direction in space, with gravitational loading on Earth being directed towards the Earth’s center.
