Published purpose
This project provides an opportunity for young, talented Canadians to engage in research by using previously collected information. The research team will answer new questions investigating the link between blood vessel function and brain health. The project is designed to determine how well brain blood vessels soften the pulses coming from the heart. The team will also test whether an astronaut s exercise routine protects their brain. The results will increase understanding of the link between blood vessel health and cognition in older adults on Earth, and help to protect astronauts during future missions, which will extend for longer durations and deeper into space.
