Intrinsic functional connectivity reduces after first-time exposure to short-term gravitational alterations induced by parabolic flight

Abstract Spaceflight severely impacts the human body. However, little is known about how gravity and gravitational alterations affect the human brain. Here, we aimed at measuring the effects of acute exposure to gravity transitions. We exposed 28 naïve participants to repetitive alterations between...
