The Neurolab Spacelab Mission: Neuroscience Research in Space
Editors: Jay C. Buckey, Jr., M.D., Jerry L. Homick, Ph.D.
Synopsis: The Neurolab Spacelab Mission reveals the results of Neurolab, a 16-day space shuttle mission dedicated to studying how weightlessness affects the brain and nervous system. This book shows the complex — and sometimes surprising — changes in the brain and nervous system that allow astronauts to adapt to weightlessness. The results suggest that the developing nervous system may need gravity to develop normally; it also demonstrates how gravity works may be "built into" the brain.
