The Concept of Allostasis and Autonomic Regulation in Space Flight

The review presents literature sources confirming the key aspects of the theory of allostasis and its relationship with the theory of homeostasis, as well as some neurophysiological aspects of allostatic systems, which include autonomic regulation, which determine the relationship between the brain and the cardiovascular system. One of the aspects of allostatic regulation is heart rate variability, which reflects the state of the body’s plastic constants and their changes under space flight conditions.
