THE EFFECTS OF PRENATAL X-IRRADIATION ON THE BEHAVIORAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE ALBINO RAT. Final Report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4134226
Progress is reported in a study of the effects of doses of x radiation from 0 to 100 r administered to gravid rats on the 5th to the 20th day of gestation on behavioral characteristics measured at various sges. The behavioral measurements included motor maturation of the upright response, motor maturation of the righting response, inclined plane test, motor strength test, locomotor learning test, open field test, maze learning test, and audiogenic seizure test. The data showed that irradiation altered activity and emotionality in the offspring as measured by performance of the tests used. Certain days of gestation produced different results from other days, indicating a stage dependence for radiation injury of the central nervous system. (C.H.)
