QUESTION: What do you think the most beneficial results of your mission might be? ANSWER from Louis Ostrach on November 19, l997 With so many experiments on different topics, it's hard to say which one is going to be the most beneficial. We are expecting to learn a great deal about the development of the brain which will have important applications to prenatal and childhood diseases. We are hoping to learn more about how the brain adapts to new stimuli which would relate to many medical problems involving brain damage caused by accidents or disease. We are trying out some very new technolgies for gathering cellular activity data from the brain that may be helpful for studying the brain more effectively on earth. My suggestion is to keep watching with us and we'll all be excited about the results of the mission.
