Tibetans have adapted to high altitude environments. However, the genetic effects in their
brains have not been identified. Twenty-five native Tibetans living in Lhasa (3650 m) were …

It has been well-established that high-altitude (HA) environments affect the human brain;
however, the differences in brain structural and functional networks between HA natives and …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: High-altitude environmental factors and genetic variants
together could have exerted their effects on the human brain. The present study was …

The aim of this study was to investigate brain structural alterations in adult immigrants who
adapted to high altitude (HA). Voxel-based morphometry analysis of gray matter (GM) …

A large proportion of lowlanders ascending to high-altitude (HA) show no signs of mountain
sickness. Whether their brains have indeed suffered from HA environment and the persistent …

Mental rotation is a core indicator of spatial ability, and a threshold for cognitive impairment
may exist at approximately 4,000 m above sea level, but the specific thresholds for the …

With the advancement of in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique, more
detailed information about the human brain at high altitude (HA) has been revealed. The …

This study used the attention network test (ANT) to evaluate the alerting, orienting, and
executive network efficiencies of attention related to indigenous residents who were born …

Between 1960 and 2003, 13 Chinese expeditions successfully reached the summit of
Chomolungma (Mt Everest or Sagarmatha). Forty-five of the 80 summiteers were Tibetan …

The study of individuals at high‐altitude (HA) exposure provides an important opportunity for
unraveling physiological and psychological mechanism of brain underlying hypoxia …
