Rachael Seidler, Ph.D., in collaboration with NASA, examines the potential impact of long-duration spaceflight on the brain, behavior, and aging.
Since the 1970s, the space exploration boom has resulted in astronauts worldwide spending longer in spaceflight.
In the mid-1990s, Russian cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov set the record for the longest spaceflight at 437 days, and in 2023, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) astronaut Frank Rubio set the record for the longest spaceflight by an American at 371 days. However, little is known about the impact of long-duration spaceflight on the brain, behavior, and aging.
University of Florida researcher Rachael Seidler, Ph.D., is changing that.
