EEG DESYNCHRONIZATION BY X RAYS IN RATS WITH TRANSECTED SPINAL CORDS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4120972
Rats with transected spinal cords showed EEG desynchronization and behavioral arousal to whole-body or headonly x irradiation at dose rates between 0.5 and 1.5 r/sec. No arousal or EEG desynchronization occurred when only the body of a spinal transected animal was exposed. Results indicate that neither the circulatory system nor the vagi are essential to the arousal reaction to x irradiation. (auth)
