The brain reorganises itself in space but is not destroyed, new study says
...as researchers imaging the brains of Russian cosmonauts have found that while the brain does undergo changes in a microgravity environment, it doesn’t deteriorate. Previous experiments on astronauts who have spent months in space have shown that long...
