“…We have attempted to minimize the influence of one of the known threats to interpretive validity in neuroimaging studies in astronauts: the change in segmentation error bias driven by the redistribution of cerebrospinal fluid in the skull that we have described previously [39]. However, there are other potential threats to interpreting BOLD signals in astronauts after spaceflight, such as the changes in brain perfusion observed after a head-down bed rest study [68], a paradigm commonly employed as a spaceflight analog. Due to both known and unknown threats to the validity of our experiment, we recommend that these findings be treated as preliminary and interpreted with caution.…”

“…A well-recognised terrestrial microgravity analogue is head-down tilt, which simulates the cephalad fluid shifts. In a recent head-down tilt study, there was an increase in ventricular and perivascular space volume suggesting glymphatic dysfunction but decreased cerebral blood flow 16 . Despite the findings of decreased blood flow in head-down tilt experiments, there is evidence for an increase in the cerebral blood flow during spaceflight in the literature.…”
