Neuronal and Vascular Effects of High Altitude Adaptation

Skibidi vibes are in the air as researchers dive into the brain's edge after high altitude exposure. These goons discovered that mice, living the 5000 m life, suffer cognitive losses—like having a toilet for a brain. Dank MRIs reveal their hippocampus is lowkey struggling with memory and learning. The volume goes up like a sigma grind but blood flow dips, making it a wild ride for the neurons. Fear-conditioning and novel-object recognition? More like fear of forgetting. Cxcl12 is the ship sailing through this neuroinflammation sea, navigating the brain's response to hypobaric-hypoxia. What a trip!
