Summary
This study looks at how spending 12 months in space on the International Space Station changes astronauts' brain structure, thinking skills, and spatial awareness. Researchers will compare these changes to those seen on shorter 6-month and 2-month missions. Fourteen astronauts and healthy volunteers on Earth will take cognitive tests and undergo brain scans to track these effects.
