MRI shows how extended space travel affects the brain

By Wayne Forrest

Recovering from weightlessness might be the least of the problems that astronauts face when they return home to Earth. MRI scans revealed a loss of gray-matter volume in the brain soon after touchdown and prolonged changes in circulation of cerebrospinal fluid some seven months later, according to a study published in the October 25 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
