Between the Ears: International Space Station Examines the Human Brain
"Among the many problems that have challenged astronauts since humans first began exploring space is adapting to it," said Dr. Kirt Costello, ISS deputy chief scientist. "When arriving in microgravity, and often when returning to the ground, astronauts frequently have trouble with vertigo and dizziness, possibly experiencing motion sickness or visual problems. The space station provides us with a platform to conduct long-duration experiments that help us find treatments for these and other conditions that also occur on Earth."
