Las Vegas (KSNV) — As humanity continues to explore the vastness of outer space, scientists at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) are delving into how these extraterrestrial journeys might affect astronauts’ brain function.

Professor Ayan Sengupta is among the researchers leading the charge in this groundbreaking study.

The research aims to understand the neurological impacts of space travel, which could have significant implications for future missions.

The study is part of a broader effort to ensure the safety and well-being of astronauts as they embark on longer and more challenging missions beyond Earth’s atmosphere.
