taste of science: Sleep and space exploration

Space the Final Frontier

Interplanetary exploration will be humankind’s most ambitious expedition and the journey required to do so, is as intimidating as it is intrepid.

We investigate the long-term effects GCR can have on behavioral and cognitive performance in a rodent model system.
