Radiation sickness was produced in rabbits by insertion of applicators with Co in the skin of the fronto-temporal area. During the first hours following irradiation the amplitude of the oscillations of the bio-potentials of the brain decreased and slower waves of duration of 0.30 to 0.35 sec appeared. The potentials became more frequent from the 3rd to the 7th day following irradiation. With the beginning of the second week a tendency to normalization of the EEG was observed as far as the re-establishment of the amplitude and reactivity was concerned, regardless of the manifestation of the general weakness associated with a markedly elevated excitability. The animals perished on the 7th to 13th day following irradiation. Men suffering from neoplasms of the skin of the upper part of the face and of the scalp were submitted to irradiation with Co/sup 60/. Patients with marked local skin reactions remained employable and practically normal during and after the period of irradiation. During the first days following irradiation, delta-waves appeared in the EEG of the patients, of 0.4 to 0.8 seconds duration, and the amplitude of the biopetentials decreased as well as the reactivity of the cerebral cortex. The EEG returned to normal within 10 or more days foIlowing irradiation.
