An instrumented centrifuge for studying mouse locomotion and behaviour under hypergravity
Biology Open, 2019 Gravity may influence multiple aspects of legged locomotion, from the periods of limbs moving as pendulums to the muscle forces required to support the body.

Impacts of the Spaceflight to the Immune System
Hanggong uju uihakoeji, 2021 Changes the gravity has a significant affect on the immune system. Astronauts experience the gravity changing during spaceflight, especially when launching and landing they experience hypergravity, and during spaceflight they feel microgravity.

Hypergravity Attenuates Reactivity in Primary Murine Astrocytes
Biomedicines, 2022 Neuronal activity is the key modulator of nearly every aspect of behavior, affecting cognition, learning, and memory as well as motion. Hence, disturbances of the transmission of synaptic signals are the main cause of many neurological disorders. Lesions

Case Report: No Evidence of Intracranial Fluid Shifts in an Astronaut Following an Aborted Launch
Frontiers in Neurology, 2021 Spaceflight induces lasting enlargement of the brain's ventricles as well as intracranial fluid shifts. These intracranial fluid shifts have been attributed to prolonged microgravity exposure, however, the potential effects of hypergravity exposure ...

A firmer understanding of the effect of hypergravity on thyroid tissue: cholesterol and thyrotropin receptor. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Maintaining a good health requires the maintenance of a body homeostasis which largely depends on correct functioning of thyroid gland. The cells of the thyroid tissue are strongly sensitive to hypogravity, as already proven in mice after returning to ...

Microgravity and Hypergravity Induced by Parabolic Flight Differently Affect Lumbar Spinal Stiffness
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 The objective of this study was to determine the response of the lumbar spinal motor control in different gravitational conditions. This was accomplished by measuring indicators of lumbar motor control, specifically lumbar spinal stiffness, activity of ...

Is sleep affected after microgravity and hypergravity exposure? A pilot study
Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.Summary Sleep is known to be affected in space travel and in residents of the international space station. But little is known about the direct effects of gravity changes on sleep, if other factors, such as sleep conditions, are kept constant. Here, as a first exploration, we investigated sleep before and after exposure to short bouts of microgravity ...
