Abstract
Interplanetary travel poses serious risks because of Galactic cosmic radiations (GCRs). A recent study by Sanghee et al. revealed long-term cognitive impairments in female mice exposed to a 33-beam GCR simulator, highlighting persistent risks for astronauts. The study's use of touchscreen tasks, similar to human cognitive tests, enhances its relevance for space missions. Additionally, the antioxidant/anti-inflammatory compound CDDO-EA showed potential in mitigating these cognitive deficits. While offering critical insights into GCR effects, the study emphasizes the need for further research into protective strategies, including dietary interventions, to ensure astronaut safety on extended missions beyond Earth's protective shield.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Neurochemistry focuses on molecular, cellular and biochemical aspects of the nervous system, the pathogenesis of neurological disorders and the development of disease specific biomarkers. It is devoted to the prompt publication of original findings of the highest scientific priority and value that provide novel mechanistic insights, represent a clear advance over previous studies and have the potential to generate exciting future research.
