Acute high-altitude hypoxia exposure causes multiple adverse neurological consequences, including paralysis, blindness, sleep disturbance, mental disorder, and cognitive impairment. 1 Intellectual abilities such as concentration, perception, executive function, learning, and memory can be impaired, 2 which are caused by neuronal damage due to oxidative stress, inflammation, and other mechanisms. 3 However, the exact cellular and molecular mechanism of neurological dysfunction remains unclear. Therefore, there are no
