Does freediving lead to hippocampal adaptability to hypoxia and maintenance of episodic memory?

Background: Accidental hypoxia has detrimental effects on the brain, particularly on the hippocampal subfields (HS), which are highly sensitive to oxygen deprivation and play a crucial role in episodic memory. This raises the question: could freediving training induce anatomical changes in the HS and lead to significant memory deficits? This study aimed to investigate the impact […]
