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.

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.

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

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.

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.

This study examines resting-state functional connectivity changes in a spaceflight analog, finding distinct patterns in those who develop optic disc edema compared to those who do not.

This study examines how a spaceflight analog environment with elevated CO2 affects brain connectivity and sensorimotor performance over time.
