Impact of plateau environment hypoxia on human cognitive function and intervention measures / 中国药理学与毒理学杂志

ABSTRACT

The size of the plateau in China is large and the plateau environment concerns our economic construction and national security because of its special location. The average altitude of the Qinghai-Tibet plateau,which is of great military and economic significance,is above 4000 m.The special plateau environment,such as hypoxia and low temperature,poses a serious threat to the physical and mental health of the populations there.In recent years,with the development of neuroscience and technology, the impact of plateau environment hypoxia on human cognitive function has received more attention. Here we review the impact of plateau environment on the human cognitive function and related interven-tion measures to provide reference,for protection of cognitive ability and mental ability at high altitude.
