Abstract

Aerospace neurology concentrate on the function of nervous system exposed to environmental conditions other than those encountered in our normal standard conditions. Clinical factors in these environments include the toxic effects of changes in atmospheric pressure and considerations of safety for pilot with neurologic disease. This article gives a brief overview of the environmental factors experienced in aviation and space environments that are most associated in neurologic dysfunction.
