“The absence of Earth’s magnetic field could lead to astronauts developing mental disorders during interplanetary flights, particularly expeditions to Mars, Russian scientists said.
“Researchers from the Biology and Biophysics Research Institute at Tomsk State University and the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Institute for Biomedical Problems have conducted a number of experiments to study rats’ behavior when isolated from the Earth’s magnetic field.
“The experiments showed that the rats lost social skills, had problems with memory, and experienced changes in their internal organs.”
