We explored fascinating insights into cerebrospinal fluid movement, navigation mechanisms, and other topics that could impact human space exploration. Our session on neuroscience’s role in human exploration drew huge interest from the science community. We’re excited to see more contributions from passionate researchers in this important field the […]

]]> BRACE Bedrest – Ready for round 2! https://explorationscience.esa.int/brace-bedrest-ready-for-round-2/ Tue, 06 Feb 2024 19:28:02 +0000 https://scispace.esa.int/?p=1130 ESA, with support of CNES, is continuing the second part of a new 60-day bedrest study at the MEDES Space Clinic in Toulouse. The BRACE study (BedRest with Artificial gravity and Cycling Exercise) will investigate the efficacy of the combination of cycling exercise and artificial gravity (on a human centrifuge). If effective, it could be […]

]]> BRACE Bedrest study kicked off https://explorationscience.esa.int/brace-bedrest-study-kicked-off/ Tue, 04 Apr 2023 13:23:46 +0000 https://scispace.esa.int/?p=314 ESA, with support of CNES, started a new 60-day bedrest study at the MEDES Space Clinic in Toulouse. The study will investigate the efficacy of the combination of cycling exercise and artificial gravity (on a human centrifuge). If effective, it could be used as a potential countermeasure to some of the unwanted changes seen in […]
