High altitude climbing without supplementary oxygen is a common sporting practice and athletes have been extensively evaluated with respect to possible brain functional impairment during its performance. Little is known on the contrary about long-term effects of hypoxia on the central nervous system. We evaluated, at sea level, a group of 10 high-altitude climbers with a battery of neuropsychological tests before and 75 days after the ascent. Our results suggest the occurrence of an impairment of memory performance after return to sea-level at least in some subjects, while speech and certain practical abilities were unchanged.
在不使用辅助氧气的情况下进行高海拔攀登是一种常见的体育活动，并且运动员在进行此项活动时，针对可能出现的脑功能损伤已得到广泛评估。相反，关于低氧对中枢神经系统的长期影响却知之甚少。我们在海平面高度，对一组10名高海拔登山者在登山前和登山75天后进行了一系列神经心理学测试。我们的结果表明，至少在部分受试者中，返回海平面后出现了记忆表现受损的情况，而语言和某些实践能力则未发生变化。
