Description:
The overarching objective of this international ground study is to advance knowledge about the long-term consequences of spaceflight-induced changes in brain structure and function. Proposer’s will monitor changes in astronaut brain structure and function up to 3-years post-flight to determine 1) whether they persist in some astronauts, 2) if so, for how long, and 3) whether there are any long-term health consequences.
