A new study, backed by NASA, shows that long space travel takes a toll on astronauts' brains. The study finds that astronauts who traveled to the International Space Station (ISS) and on space missions for a period of at least six months, showed significant expansion of the cerebral ventricles, which are cavities located at the center of the brain and contain cerebrospinal fluid.
