Space radiation may harm astronauts' brains: study
Miami (AFP) May 1, 2015
Flying people to deep space - like Mars or an asteroid - is high on NASA's wish list, but research on mice suggested Friday that extended radiation exposure permanently harms the brain. Central nervous system damage and cognitive impairments were observed in lab animals that were exposed to highly energetic charged particles - similar to the galactic cosmic rays that astronauts would encounter during long space flights - said researchers at the University of California, Irvine. "This is not ... read more
