Alterations of Functional Brain Connectivity After Long-Duration Spaceflight as Revealed by fMRI

The present study reports alterations of task-based functional brain connectivity in a group of 11 cosmonauts after a long-duration spaceflight, compared to a healthy control group not involved in the space program. To elicit the postural and locomotor sensorimotor mechanisms that are usually most s...
