Effects of ionizing radiation on behavior and the brain
Description
Experiments reported over the last 30 years have clearly indicated that exposure to ionizing radiation alters behavior and neurobiology in a complex and multifaceted manner. Such factors as dose, quality or radiation, and the nature of the task being performed are important determinants of the effect of irradiation on behavior. In this chapter, an overview of the behavioral effects of radiation exposure is presented, along with discussion of the biological changes that are relevant to behavior
