  • Title: [Effect of artificial mountain climate on the functional state of higher regions of the central nervous system in man].
    Author: Berezovskiĭ VA, Levashov MI.
    Journal: Vopr Kurortol Fizioter Lech Fiz Kult; 2009; (2):6-9. PubMed ID: 19517597.
    Abstract:
    The study included 97 patients with vegetative vascular dystonia and chronic non-specific pulmonary diseases exposed to artificial high-altitude climate in an Orotron climatic chamber during 2 weeks. Atmospheric conditions maintained in the chamber had the following parameters: partial pressure of oxygen--147-160 gPa, relative humidity--60-70%, air temperature--16-18 degrees C, light aeroion content--up to 6000 cub.cm. It was shown that the exposure to artificial mountain climatic conditions enhanced functional mobility of nervous processes and decreased the length of the sensorimotor reactions of the patients. Individual differences in the change of parameters being measured depended on the degree of initial functional flexibility of nervous processes.
