When astronauts go to space there brain structure and function gets changed. Early studies resulted that long term spaceflight can lead to impact on the human brain. One such example is an upward shift of the brain resulting in crowding of tissue as well as an enlargement of the ventricular system. However new research shows that long term spaceflight are linked to changes in astronauts' motor skills and cognitive performance after spaceflight.
