Seems equally likely this is related to prolonged periods of relative isolation as much as being in space

They should have put the twin on earth in a simulates space station for a year. Also maybe the lack of bacterial biodiversity was a factor. I used to work analyzing DNA sequences of gut bacteria of MS patients. Surprisingly enough, bacteria affects many things about you, including cognitive performance.

I think the point of the study is to see the effects of space when compared to a normal life on Earth, not compared to a life on Earth in similar conditions.
