RESUMO
The long-term insulated environment (such as burial after earthquakes, trapped elevators, etc.) can affect emotion by affecting neural plasticity and neurotransmitters, while the bad emotions can further affect normal cognition. Drugs can intervene the emotional problems induced by the insulated environment, such as anxiety and depression, and enhance cognitive ability, the negative influence on brain function induced by the insulated environment can be prevented or alleviated. First, the animal model of brain dysfunction in the insulated environment should be established. The cognitive, learning and memory ability can be evaluated by Morris water maze, Barnes maze, etc. The therapeutic drugs mainly include anti-depression/antianxiety drugs and cognition-improving drugs. Saffron, lavender, passion flower and magnesium ion, have shown good anti-anxiety and anti-depression effects and are suitable for the treatment of emotional problems caused by the insulated environment. Methylphenidate and its analogues, piracetam, hypericum perforatum, and salvia officinalis that can enhance cognition can also be used to prevent and treat cognitive disorders such as inattention and memory decline caused by the insulated environment. Elucidating the mechanism of closed environment and finding more effective drugs can provide a more effective solution to the decline of brain function caused by long-term closed environment..
