The Neuro-Sensory System in Space

摘要: To be aware of the environment, one must sense or perceive that environment.1 The body senses environment by interaction specialized sensory organs with aspect another environment. central nervous system utilizes these sensations to coordinate and organize muscular movements, shift from uncomfortable positions, adjust properly. One relevant question is “what relative contribution gravity motor functions?” This chapter reviews effects microgravity on functioning primarily used for balance spatial orientation. Disorientation malaise so frequently encountered during early exposure upon return Earth are described. Theories actual data regarding role in adaptation sensory-motor functions, including control posture, eye self-­orientation, changing environmental levels explored. For a comprehensive review space research conducted this area since beginning spaceflight, reader referred book Neuroscience Space [Clement Reschke, 2008] (Figure 3.1)
