"You would think Earth gravity would be hard-wired into the nervous system -- after all, it's been constant since we evolved," said DiZio. "But the human brain is remarkably good at re-learning how to control the body when gravity changes and the old rules of force and motion and mass don't work anymore."

Directed motions such as pointing, grabbing, walking across a room at a certain speed, and responding to auditory cues for motion all are affected by changes in gravity.
