“…Reflex excitability decreases as a function of dose, with high doses abolishing the reflex completely (19,20). Frequently enhancement precedes the depression (2,23,39). But again it should be emphasized that median total-body lethal doses produce no easily measurable changes (13).…”

The effects of high-energy radiation on pre- and neonatal development, the adult nervous system, learning and performance, and sensory functions are described. Though the number of available studies are few, there is evidence to suggest that: (1) the adult nervous system is relatively radioresistant; (2) learning functions are relatively unaffected by lethal or sublethal dosages of radiation; (3) hearing acuity and thresholds to dark adaptation increase as a result of radiation; and (4) the fetal nervous system is relatively radiosensitive. There is a need for more studies assessing the behavioral effects of radiation. 70-item bibliography.

“…In a study in which the heads of rabbits were irradiated using 12,500 r. (23) after a latent period of 30 minutes a convulsive phase with grand mal seizures appeared. This was followed by a somnolent phase of two hours' duration in which the animals were quite inactive.…”

“…High doses have been found to produce brain lesions, grand mal seizures (Gerstner et al 1955b), loss of equilibrium and/or orientation in space (Andrews and Kirkland, 1953;Davidoff et al 1938 ;Nemenow, 193Ub;Ross et al 195k;and Russell et ri. 19U9) electroencephalogram changes (Arnold et ri.…”
