Since Changes of cardiac function, electroencephalogram findings, immune responses as well as the personality of the Antarctic expedition members had been reported by our group, the underlying contribution of behavior and physiological changes would be further studied in this time. Samples were taken, under standardized procedures, on the same individual at different time such as (A) before leaving to Antarctica (B) 2 weeks after arrival at Great Wall Station (C) 12.5 months after arrival (D) after returning back to Beijing for a break (summer-over member) (E) after returning back to Beijing for a long break (winter-over member).
