Dr. Jon Sen, Medical Director of Mayday Group Limited and Neuroscience Clinical Lecturer, spearheaded a groundbreaking #brain research project aboard the Axiom-2 International Space Station (ISS) mission, aiming to enhance understanding of #astronaut brain health in #microgravity. This initiative, conducted in collaboration with international researchers, focused on monitoring #brainfunction from cellular to global levels, addressing phenomena like spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS). The research introduced portable brain monitors for future space missions and clinics, aiming to mitigate risks associated with long-duration #space flights and commercial space travel. Dr. Sen's team also plans to contribute to #brainhealth research on the upcoming SpaceX #PolarisDawn Mission, exploring intracranial pressure through pupillary reactivity studies and other neurological measurements. These efforts mark significant strides in space #neuroscience, potentially informing protocols and interventions to safeguard astronaut health amidst evolving #spaceexploration endeavors.
