Sponsored in part by the California Space Grant Consortium under the UROP (Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program), UCSD and Grossmont Community College students are studying what happens when blood floods to the head in microgravity. They’ve designed experiments to measure intracranial pressures in microgravity with a machine that mimics fluid flow to the brain. In July … Continue reading Student Microgravity Project on The Cephalic Fluid Shift and Intracranial Pressure
