Aims:
SA1: Determine the recovery timeline of spaceflight-induced ocular changes (e.g., signs of SANS such as optic disc edema) and changes in brain structure, function, and fluid shifts, measuring out to five years post flight. Aim 1a will comprise prospective assessments, while Aim 1b will leverage follow up testing on crewmembers who participated in the PI’s Neuromapping flight study and those crewmembers who have existing retrospective pre and post flight MRI scans.
SA2:
Determine the associations between spaceflight-induced brain and
ocular structural and fluid changes with ocular function, cognitive function, sleep
quality and quality of life
