The study of the somnological aspects of the human acute adaptation to the high-altitude

The primary cause of alteration in the neocortex electrogenesis in high-altitude adaptation at altitudes of 3000–5600 m above sea level, according to the EEG parameters of the night sleep and wakefulness, is uncompensated superficial hypoxia of the brain. The situation becomes worse at night due to...

Summary:The primary cause of alteration in the neocortex electrogenesis in high-altitude adaptation at altitudes of 3000–5600 m above sea level, according to the EEG parameters of the night sleep and wakefulness, is uncompensated superficial hypoxia of the brain. The situation becomes worse at night due to apnea/hypopnea effects during sleep, which occur as a result of muscular atony during slow falling asleep. The compensation of these disorders via hypertensive and cardiorespiratory responses is determined by general mechanisms and individual strategy.
