Effect of Simulated Microgravity on Human Brain Gray Matter and White Matter--Evidence from MRI.

There is limited and inconclusive evidence that space environment, especially microgravity condition, may affect microstructure of human brain. This experiment hypothesized that there would be modifications in gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) of the brain due to microgravity.Eighteen male volu...
