[00:00:00]This is what it looks like when an astronaut gets back from space. The brain is a wildly complex and powerful organ that has the ability to grow, to learn, and to change. So, even a short 10-day mission into space still has an impact on how the brain functions. So, what we see here is an astronaut having to relearn the impact of gravity on their vestibular [music] system. This means that they may experience dizziness or balance issues like we see here. But, they do have a plan that helps them regain their balance. The great news in this is that these astronauts are helping us understand >> [music] >> how the brain and vestibular system function. And it also helps that us understand how to better treat neurological and vestibular [music] issues. So, these astronauts, they are our modern-day superheroes.
