Cerebral blood flow - Comparison of ground-based and spaceflight data and correlation with space adaptation syndromeThe relationship between the cerebral blood flow velocity and the space adaptation syndrome (SAS), which includes symptoms of motion sickness, stuffy head, and/or headaches, was investigated by measuring (using a transcranial Doppler device) differences between the preflight and the inflight cerebral blood flow velocity in crew members who were motion sick and in those who were not sick during a flight aboard KC-135. It was found that the cerebral artery bloodflow inflight did not differ significantly from that recorded preflight, nor did the severity of SAS symptoms correlate directly with the cerebral blood flow.
