DrainBrain 2.0

DrainBrain 2.0 examines how blood flows from the brain to the heart in microgravity. Results could help researchers identify which processes in the body compensate for the lack of gravity, helping to ensure proper blood flow for astronauts and people with cardiovascular issues on Earth.
