Study Reveals Effects of Space Travel on Astronauts' Cognitive Abilities

Credited from: TIME

  • The human body faces several challenges in space, such as bone decalcification and muscle atrophy.
  • A new study published in Frontiers in Physiology indicates that astronauts can generally maintain their cognitive abilities during missions.
  • Conducted by Sheena Dev and her team, the research involved 25 astronauts who took cognitive tests before, during, and after six-month stays in space.
  • Results showed astronauts experienced slight declines in processing speed and working memory, but performed tasks accurately and adapted well.
  • Overall, the study suggests that space travel doesn't lead to significant cognitive impairment, indicating future long-duration missions may be viable.
