Abstract
Haenyeo, Korea's traditional female breath-hold divers, represent a unique model for studying brain adaptation to extreme environmental stressors. Diving daily without breathing equipment, they endure hypoxia, hydrostatic pressure, and cold exposure, often well into their senior years. Research on haenyeo has broader implications for fields such as aging research, space exploration, and underwater medicine. Haenyeo provide an extraordinary lens through which to explore human brain resilience and adaptability. Their experiences demonstrate the brain's capacity for enduring and adapting to extreme physical and cognitive demands over a lifetime. Studying haenyeo offers valuable insights into protecting brain health in extreme environments and aging populations.
期刊介绍：
The Psychiatry Investigation is published on the 25th day of every month in English by the Korean Neuropsychiatric Association (KNPA). The Journal covers the whole range of psychiatry and neuroscience. Both basic and clinical contributions are encouraged from all disciplines and research areas relevant to the pathophysiology and management of neuropsychiatric disorders and symptoms, as well as researches related to cross cultural psychiatry and ethnic issues in psychiatry. The Journal publishes editorials, review articles, original articles, brief reports, viewpoints and correspondences. All research articles are peer reviewed. Contributions are accepted for publication on the condition that their substance has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. Authors submitting papers to the Journal (serially or otherwise) with a common theme or using data derived from the same sample (or a subset thereof) must send details of all relevant previous publications and simultaneous submissions. The Journal is not responsible for statements made by contributors. Material in the Journal does not necessarily reflect the views of the Editor or of the KNPA. Manuscripts accepted for publication are copy-edited to improve readability and to ensure conformity with house style.
