Structural differences in gray matter between glider pilots and non-pilots. A voxel based morphometry study.

Structural differences in gray matter between glider pilots and non-pilots. A voxel based morphometry study.

Glider flying is a unique skill that requires pilots to control an aircraft at high speeds in three dimensions and amidst frequent full body rotations. In the present study we investigated the neural correlates of flying a glider using voxel-based morphometry (VBM). The comparison between gray matte...
