title: [Changes of learning and memory function under weightlessness or simulated weightlessness].
abstract: The work efficiency of astronauts has an intimate connection with the brain function state during space flight. The research results of the learning and memory mechanism of the brain in recent years were introduced. The effects of weightlessness or simulated weightlessness on brain's learning, memory, focused attention and many other higher neural activities and on the relative neural transmitters were summarized. Several research aspects were put forward in the future.
