Long-term space travel can have a variety of effects on the physiology of astronauts. New research suggests prolonged exposure to microgravity does cause parts of the brain to reorganize itself, but does not trigger neurodegeneration, the loss of brain tissue. For the new study, published Friday in the journal Science Advances, researchers imaged the brains of 11 male cosmonauts from Ru
