Includes bibliographical references and index.
The aim of this book is to provide a general overview of the 1998 Neurolab space shuttle mission, to enable both generalists and experts to understand the mission and receive the information they need. The book is divided into three sections. The first contains scientific reports from the individual investigator teams, in which experiments and results are presented. The reports are divided into five major research areas: the balance system; sensory integration and navigation; nervous system development in weightlessness; blood pressure control; and circadian rhythms, sleep, and respiration. The second section provides technical reports of descriptions of procedures or hardware developed specifically for the flight. The last section offers crewmember perspectives on the mission, including discussion of problems that arose during flight and how they may be corrected in the future.
