The primary goal of this work group is to promote life sciences in the partial gravity environment, such as those encountered on the surface of the Moon and Mars. For this purpose, we take advantage of the unique system for parabolic flights in Japan, which enables the simulation of different gravity environments with great precision and flexibility. The effects of the partial gravity are examined at organismic (whole animal), tissular, cellular, and molecular levels. Presently, this is the first and only research group dedicated to the study of moderate-low gravity environments, but it is one of our goals to establish collaborative work and increase the availability of the original Japanese parabolic flight to other research groups both in Japan and abroad. We are examining into the rat hypothalamus, the stress center, the neuronal activity together with quantification of the locally released neurotransmitters and neuromodulators by performing during graded levels of partial gravity parabolic flights. Mouse regulation of posture to partial gravity will be also analyzed by using high-speed X-ray photo system during parabolic flights.
