, researchers have explored how cosmonauts' brains change after traveling to space and back. And they showed how the brain adapts to spaceflight, finding that the brain is almost"rewired," and both fluid shifts and shape changes occur. These changes can last for months after a person returns to Earth, the researchers found.
"Structural analyses [of astronaut brains] have been done already, but not yet connectivity research," Wuyts said."With this paper [on] connectivity, we finally approach the answers regarding this neuroplasticity." Previously, it was thought that spaceflight could cause structural changes in the corpus callosum itself. However, the team found that the ventricles nearby actually dilate, which shifts the neural tissue of this region around the corpus callosum, changing its shape, Wuyts explained. Ventricles in the brain are pockets that both produce and store CSF, the fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord.
