  • Title: [The effect of a high-intensity radiation exposure on the brain function of monkeys. The postradiation changes in the EEG response to rhythmic photostimulation].
    Author: Legeza VI, Turlakov IuS.
    Journal: Radiobiologiia; 1992; 32(1):98-107. PubMed ID: 1565780.
    Abstract:
    In experiments with monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) it has been shown that whole-body irradiation with a dose of 45 Gy (6.5 Gy/s) causes considerable changes in the EEG response to rhythmic photostimulation (PS). These changes are: reduction of the desynchronizing effect of PS with regard to a background rhythmicity; decrease in the reception rate of the rhythms of light flashes (RLF); narrowing of the RLF frequency range; and increase in the reaction momentum. The postirradiation changes in the EEG response to PS are considered as a manifestation of inhibition of the cortex functional activity and impairment of sensory information processing in the brain.
