Artificial Gravity During a Spaceflight Analog Alters Brain Sensory Connectivity

Heather R. McGregor, Jessica K. Lee, Edwin R. Mulder, Yiri E. De Dios, Nichole E. Beltran, Scott J. Wood, Jacob J. Bloomberg, Ajitkumar P. Mulavara, Rachael D. Seidler

This study examines how artificial gravity affects brain functional connectivity during bed rest, finding differential changes in somatosensory regions and mobility outcomes between groups receiving continuous vs. intermittent artificial gravity.

Impacts of Spaceflight Experience on Human Brain Structure

Heather R. McGregor, Kathleen E. Hupfeld, Ofer Pasternak, Nichole E. Beltran, Yiri E. De Dios, Jacob J. Bloomberg, Scott J. Wood, Ajitkumar P. Mulavara, Roy Riascos, Patricia A. Reuter‐Lorenz, Rachael D. Seidler

This study examines how spaceflight duration and prior experience affect brain structure in astronauts, finding greater ventricular expansion and white matter decline with longer missions and more prior flights.

Daily Artificial Gravity is Associated with Greater Neural Efficiency during Sensorimotor Adaptation

Grant D. Tays, Kathleen E. Hupfeld, Heather R. McGregor, Nichole E. Beltran, Igor S. Kofman, Yiri E. De Dios, Edwin R. Mulder, Jacob J. Bloomberg, Ajitkumar P. Mulavara, Scott J. Wood, Rachael D. Seidler

This study shows that daily artificial gravity reduces brain activation during sensorimotor adaptation compared to head-down tilt bed rest.

The effects of long duration spaceflight on sensorimotor control and cognition

Grant D. Tays, Kathleen E. Hupfeld, Heather R. McGregor, Ana Paula Salazar, Yiri E. De Dios, Nichole E. Beltran, Patricia A. Reuter‐Lorenz, Igor S. Kofman, Scott J. Wood, Jacob J. Bloomberg, Ajitkumar P. Mulavara, Rachael D. Seidler

This study examines how long-duration spaceflight affects sensorimotor control and cognition, finding transient declines in mobility, balance, and bimanual coordination that recover within 30 days, while cognitive performance remains stable.

MRI-Visible Perivascular Space (PVS) Changes with Long-Duration Spaceflight

Kathleen E. Hupfeld, Sutton B. Richmond, Heather R. McGregor, Daniel L. Schwartz, Madison N. Luther, Nichole E. Beltran, Igor S. Kofman, Yiri E. De Dios, Roy Riascos, Scott J. Wood, Jacob J. Bloomberg, Ajitkumar P. Mulavara, Lisa C. Silbert, Jeffrey J. Iliff, Rachael D. Seidler, Juan A. Piantino

This study examines how spaceflight affects MRI-visible perivascular spaces (PVSs) in astronauts, finding that novice astronauts show increased PVS volume post-flight, while experienced astronauts show baseline correlations between flight days and PVS length.
