Abstract The effects of hypoxia on brain function remain largely unknown. This study aimed to clarify this issue by visual-stimulated functional magnetic resonance imaging design. Twenty-three college students with a 30-d high-altitude exposure were tested before, 1 week and 3 months after returning sea level. Brain retinal electroretinogram acquired. One level, decreased blood oxygenation level dependent in the right lingual gyrus accompanied increased frontal cortex insular cortex, amplitude a-wave eye; moreover, bilateral gyri showed connectivity within dorsal visual stream pathway, signals positive correlation a-wave. Three recovered normal while intensively broad regions also existed. In conclusion, hypoxic has long-term impaired may contribute it. compensate for photoreceptor cells maintain function.
