). These few studies indicate the occurrence of cortical functional adaptation to various challenging conditions that include gravity level changes.
How the brain adapts to overcome the various sensory and sensorimotor challenges during flight requires further research, which is restricted due to the rarity of populations that can be tested in this setting, such as space crew, parabolic flight participants, and fighter pilots. This study aims to contribute to this line of research and investigates whether fighter pilots show altered functional connectivity .
The T1-weighted anatomical images were acquired using an MPRAGE sequence . For rs-fMRI, 350 whole brain T2*-weighted images were acquired using a gradient-echo echo planar imaging sequence . rs-fMRI acquisition started with 4 dummy scans, which were immediately discarded to account for T1 saturation effects.) implemented in MATLAB R2019a was used for data preprocessing for each participant. Functional and structural images were manually reoriented to assure rough spatial correspondence.
