The researchers found that microgravity can cause swelling of the brain and deformation of the pituitary gland.
A new study suggests that space flight can affect the human brain in strange and unusual ways, this may deteriorate the eyesight of astronauts and over time cause other problems.
Since the space Shuttle program until today, the astronauts reported problems with his vision after a trip into space. Medical research on the Ground showed that the optic nerves of astronauts swell and some experience bleeding in the retina and other structural changes in the eyes. Scientists suspect that these vision problems caused by increased intracranial pressure”during space flight. In the new study, conducted by Dr. Larry Kramer (Larry Kramer), a radiologist from the Center for health Sciences, the University of Texas found evidence that microgravity really increases the pressure and causes swelling of the brain.

In addition, Kramer and his colleagues found that the pituitary gland also changes when exposed to microgravity, said Kramer. Iron is compressed and varies in height and shape, which is also a sign of increased pressure in the head.
