The brain, like the rest of the body, can take a hit when it leaves the planet, yet astronauts adapt dependably to their unfamiliar surroundings.
The research involved 25 astronauts who underwent a battery of 10 different cognitive tests before, during, and after six-month rotations aboard the International Space Station.
Astronauts generally retain their cognitive and behavioral functions during long durations in space, despite various psychological and emotional factors impacting their health.
Physical bodily issues from long space missions include bone decalcification, muscle atrophy, and changes to fluid distribution, all of which present significant health risks.
