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

In the next century, flying civilians to space or humans to Mars will no longer be a subject of
science fiction. The altered gravitational environment experienced during space flight, as …

Laboratory studies have suggested that the preferred cadence of walking is∼ 120
steps/min, and the vertical acceleration of the head exhibits a dominant peak at this step …

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 …

Microgravity alters vestibular signaling. In-flight adaptation to altered vestibular afferents is
reflected in post-spaceflight aftereffects, evidenced by declines in vestibularly mediated …

This review includes current and updated information about various ground-based
microgravity models and their impact on the human sensorimotor system. All known models …

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

Astronauts returning from space flight and performing Earth-bound activities must rapidly
transition from the microgravity-adapted sensorimotor state to that of Earth's gravity. The goal …

As plans develop for Mars missions, it is important to understand how long-duration
spaceflight impacts brain health. Here we report how 12-month (n= 2 astronauts) versus 6 …

In a previous study based on 100 whole mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequences,
we sought to provide a new perspective on the ordinal relationships of higher ray-finned fish …
