<![CDATA[ Going to space is harsh on the human body, and as a new study from our research team finds, the brain shifts upward and backward and deforms inside the skull after spaceflight. ]]>
Space physiology is the study of how the human body responds to the conditions of space, including microgravity, radiation, and isolation. It examines the effects on various systems, such as the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and nervous systems, to understand how to maintain health during long-duration space missions.
Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life. This adaptability allows the brain to recover from injury, learn new information, and adapt to new experiences, highlighting the dynamic nature of the nervous system.
