High-altitude (HA) exposure affects cognitive functions, but studies have found inconsistent
results. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effects of HA exposure on …

High altitude is a natural setting in which to study human acclimatization and adaptation.
Here, I identify where and in whom high‐altitude physiology research has occurred. There …

The central nervous system (CNS) is endowed with a specialized cerebrospinal fluid
(CSF)/lymph network which removes toxic molecules and metabolic by-products from the …

Many studies have indicated a strong relationship between cardiac and brain activities, both
of which are sensitive to high-altitude exposure. This study combined a consciousness …

Hypoxic environments like those present at high altitudes may negatively affect brain
function. Varying levels of hypoxia, whether acute or chronic, are previously shown to impair …

Intermittent hypoxia training (IHT) is a promising approach that has been used to induce
acclimatization to hypoxia and subsequently lower the risk of developing acute mountain …

Long-term living at high altitude causes significant impairment of cognitive function. Central
neurotransmitters are potential mediators of cognitive performance. We aimed to determine …

Hypoxia-mediated cognitive dysfunction can be transiently mitigated by exercise in a
laboratory-based setting. Whether this effect holds true in the context of high altitude hypoxia …

New Findings What is the central question of this study? What is the relative contribution of a
putative tonic splenic contraction to the haematological acclimatization process during high …

Objective To observe the effects of a fast-acute ascent to high altitude on brain cognitive
function and transcranial doppler parameters in order to understand the physiological …
