NASA's plans for space exploration include a return to the Moon to stay—boots back on the
lunar surface with an orbital outpost. This station will be a launch point for voyages to …

Prolonged microgravity exposure during long-duration spaceflight (LDSF) produces unusual
physiologic and pathologic neuro-ophthalmic findings in astronauts. These microgravity …

Long-duration spaceflight induces changes to the brain and cerebrospinal fluid
compartments and visual acuity problems known as spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular …

The field of human space travel is in the midst of a dramatic revolution. Upcoming missions
are looking to push the boundaries of space travel, with plans to travel for longer distances …

During spaceflight, the central nervous system (CNS) is exposed to a complex array of
environmental stressors. However, the effects of long-duration spaceflight on the CNS and …

Background Astronauts on long-duration spaceflight missions may develop changes in
ocular structure and function, which can persist for years after the return to normal gravity …

As human space exploration advances to establish a permanent presence beyond the Low
Earth Orbit (LEO) with NASA's Artemis mission, researchers are striving to understand and …

Emerging plans for travel to Mars and other deep space destinations make it critical for us to
understand how spaceflight affects the human brain and behavior. Research over the past …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Widespread brain structural changes are seen following
extended spaceflight missions. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether these …

Humans are exposed to extreme environmental stressors during spaceflight and return with
alterations in brain structure and shifts in intracranial fluids. To date, no studies have …
