Caption

Spaceflight results in crowding of brain tissue at the vertex. Red voxels indicate regions along the brain surface where there was an increase in brain parenchyma pre- to postflight due to crowding of the brain tissue as the brain shifted upwards. Blue voxels indicate displaced brain tissue that occurred predominantly along the margins of the lateral and third ventricles due to enlargement of the ventricles postflight.
