Scientist and Researchers study the reactions of astronauts, plants and animals to the space environment in order to understand the effects of spaceflight on their biology.
The Autonomic Nervous System Team will examine
the effects of microgravity on the regulatory systems in humans, as well
as the consequences of autonomic nervous system adaptation following return
from flight.
