Space travel presents a number of environmental challenges to the central nervous system,
including changes in gravitational acceleration that alter the terrestrial synergies between …

Multiple transitions between gravity levels will occur during planetary exploration missions.
In reaction to these gravitational transitions, physiological adaptation will be initiated …

Transitioning between gravitational environments results in a central reinterpretation of
sensory information, producing an adapted sensorimotor state suitable for motor actions and …

Astronauts returning from spaceflight typically show transient declines in mobility and
balance. Other sensorimotor behaviors and cognitive function have not been investigated as …

Here on Earth, the vestibular system provides sensory information to assist with orientation
and motion perception, balance, locomotion, stabilizing eye movements, and various other …

For many years, there have been anecdotal reports of vision changes by astronauts
following short and long-duration spaceflight. Much of this was attributed to hyperopic shifts …

Exposure to microgravity during spaceflight is known to elicit orientation illusions, errors in
sensory localization, postural imbalance, changes in vestibulo-spinal and vestibulo-ocular …

In response to sudden postural perturbations, the posture control system uses anticipatory
and compensatory postural adjustments (APAs and CPAs) to maintain balance and …
