Considering the imminence of long-term space travel, it is necessary to investigate the
impact of space microgravity (SPC-µG) in order to determine if this environment has …

Spaceflight induces widespread changes in human brain morphology. It is unclear if these
brain changes differ with varying mission duration or spaceflight experience history (ie …

To establish a rat model of an open craniocerebral injury at simulated high altitude and to
examine the characteristics of this model. Rats were divided randomly into a normobaric …

Exposure to hypobaric hypoxia at high altitude (above 2500 m asl) causes cognitive
impairment, mostly attributed to changes in brain perfusion and consequently neuronal …

Sensorimotor functioning is adaptively altered following long-duration spaceflight. The
question of whether microgravity affects other central nervous system functions such as …

Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is a common condition among non-acclimatized individuals
ascending to high altitude. However, the underlying mechanisms causing the symptoms of …

Objectives: To assess cognition in populations born and living at high altitude (HA; 3,700 m)
and low altitude (LA; 500 m) in Bolivia, who were similar for both socioeconomic status and …

In the Eastern Alps, the Dachstein massif with a height of almost 3000m is an ideal location
for investigating the effects of changes in altitude on the human body. Within a few minutes …

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: Induction to high altitude (HA) leads to deterioration in
cognitive functions. The event related potentials (ERPs) like P300 are reported to be affected …

Centrifugation is a widely used procedure to study the impact of altered gravity on Earth, as
observed during spaceflights, allowing us to understand how a long-term physical constraint …
