The frontal cortex, the brain's adaptive control center, shows dominant electrical responses to gravity. Space research is proposed to study its role in adaptation and brain control.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Space Biology
  • Evolutionary Biology

Background:

  • The frontal cortex is the human brain's highest adaptive control center.
  • The principle of "frontalization" offers new avenues for space-based brain research.
  • Gravitational fields are significant factors in brain evolution, influencing key steps like "encephalization" and "corticalization".

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the principle of "frontalization" in human brain function for space research.
  • To investigate the role of the frontal cortex in nervous responses to gravitational stimulation.
  • To propose a brain research experiment during space flight to test frontal cortex functions in space adaptation.

Main Methods:

  • Reviewing evolutionary and experimental evidence for the "frontalization" principle.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Analyzing electrical responses from the frontal cortex under gravitational stimulus.
  • Examining frontal cortex involvement in processes related to gravitational adaptation (memory, learning, sensory processing, motor programming, brain state control).

    • Main Results:

    • Evidence supports the "frontalization" principle, particularly its role in nervous response to gravity.
    • Dominating electrical responses from the frontal cortex were observed under gravitational stimulus.
    • The frontal cortex is implicated in key adaptive processes potentially affected by gravity, including memory, learning, and motor programming.

    Conclusions:

    • The "frontalization" of human brain function is a valid principle with implications for space research.
    • The frontal cortex plays a crucial role in adapting to gravitational environments.
    • A space flight experiment is recommended to further elucidate the frontal cortex's function in space adaptation and brain control.
