High-altitude (HA) exposure affects cognitive functions, but studies have found inconsistent
results. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effects of HA exposure on …

It was the Summer Olympic Games 1968 held in Mexico City (2,300 m) that required
scientists and coaches to cope with the expected decline of performance in endurance …

Impairments in cognitive function, mood, and sleep quality occur following ascent to high
altitude. Low oxygen (hypoxia) and poor sleep quality are both linked to impaired cognitive …

Hypoxic environments like those present at high altitudes may negatively affect brain
function. Varying levels of hypoxia, whether acute or chronic, are previously shown to impair …

Hypoxia remains the most important hazard in high altitude flights, but there is still a need for
deeper analysis of the effect of hypoxia exposition in the psychophysiological and cognitive …

The effect of stress on risk‐taking or risk‐averse behavior in decision‐making has been
inconclusive in previous research, with few studies revealing the underlying neural …

Risk preferences are important drivers of many relevant economic decisions of farm
households. High risk aversion is a well-known trigger of “poverty traps” for farm households …

People tend to take more risks under stressful conditions. In the present study, we examined
the effect of mild hypoxia, an unconscious and ongoing stressor, on decisions under …

Much is known about the effect of negative arousal on decision making, but little is known
about the effect of positive arousal. In this study, we manipulated positive arousal and …

Introduction Decision making is impaired in hypoxic environments, which may have serious
or even lethal consequences for mountaineers. An acclimatisation period prior to high …
