Astronauts need at least three years between missions for their brains to recover from the effects of microgravity, according to a new study.
ray matter plays a majormuscle control, the processing of emotions, the storage of memories, and the interpretation of sensory perceptionhere still isn’t that much known on the full extent of the effects of spaceflight on the human body given that there are only a few subjects that have actually spent time in space.
As NASA and other space agencies begin to set goals of establishing a“We don’t yet know for sure what the long-term consequences of this [The study does show, however, that the expansion of the brain ventricles tapered off after the six-month mark. “We were happy to see that the changes don’t increase exponentially, considering we will eventually have people in space for longer periods,” she added.
