Abstract
The long-term effects of weightlessness on the formation and function of the vestibular system are studied with particular focus on the persistence of motion defects of larva up to adult age, on the reproduction function, on the adaptation or selection of the offspring and hybrids resulting from successful reproduction under weightlessness, and on the sensory epithelium differentiation. The structural changes of the inner ear in adapted or selected offspring are studied using electronic microscope and the afferent and efferent connections using tracer methods. High generation succession frequency and offspring number, applicable reproductive behavior and easy culture, and live food are the minimum requirements for program implementation. (ESA)
