Neurolab
Team to Discuss Results, Potential Health Benefits
NeurOn (Neurolab Online) is a project that invites classrooms around the
world to join NASA personnel as they prepare for the Neurolab mission,
STS-90. NeurOn uses the Internet and Email to help break barriers between
NASA and the classroom.
The Neurolab mission will conduct brain research to study neurological
and behavioral changes in space. The NeurOn project focuses on the people
of the project, their efforts, their successes, and their challenges,
as revealed through informal biographies, journals, and Web chats. Hands-on
activities will further help students to experience the mission in their
classroom.
