Abstract
The article considers some psychophysiological mechanisms of the impact of speleoclimate on the human body. The mechanisms of increasing the reserves of the human neuroimmunoendocrine system as a result of a 10-day course of speleotherapy were revealed. Under the influence of speleoclimate, the content of T-lymphocytes, T-helpers, T-cytotoxic lymphocytes increased, an increase in early and late activation of T-lymphocytes and T-regulatory cells, an increase in the number of B-cells and NK cells with the CD3-CD16-CD56+ phenotype; the frequency of occurrence of epithelial cells of the oral cavity with nuclear aberrations decreased. It is noted that the influence of the speleoclimate on the human body is mainly limited by intrasystemic influences, affecting the regulatory system at the level of vagosympathetic interaction. It was revealed that the course of speleotherapy improves the speed of the visual signal, the speed of primary processing of information and the speed of analysis of visual information in terms of the parameters of the sEP. The mechanisms of influence of speleotherapy on the neuroimmunoendocrine system are determined by the initial psychophysiological state of a person. Under the influence of speleotherapy, the vegetative status is restored.
