Filed under ISS, Spaceline, Spaceline Current Awareness, US

Editor’s note: NASA’s various life sciences programs have prepared the SPACELINE Current Awareness updates since 1999 covering all aspects of space life science, gravitational biology, space medicine, and human factors. NASA does not maintain a website – nor does it have an archive of this resource online. However, SpaceRef does have a complete archive of SPACELINE updates all the way back to 1999
that can be accessed here: http://www.spaceref.com/news/mission.html?mid=188&pag

Note: From the Introduction: “The present review surveys a selection of the biomedical spaceflight literature to provide readers with an overview of what is known regarding the effects of spaceflight on the nervous system, with a particular emphasis placed on neurosensory, perceptual, and neurocognitive functions. These effects are addressed with respect to their implications for long-duration and exploration-class space missions.” This article may be obtained online without charge.
