X irradiation by fractionated doses of 12.5 r with a total dosage of 150 r and doses of 25, 50, and 100 r with the total dosage 300 and 600 r evoked changes in the higher nervous activity of dogs. After application of the same dose to one dog, the conditioned reflexes increased, and only after a month and a half did they begin to recede. In others a decrease of reflexes began at the time of irradiation or immediately after it without the phase of elevation. However, in all the dogs there occurred a weakening of the processes of stimulation and inhibition. With irradiation with total doses of 300 and 600 r in all cases along with a decrease in the intensity of conditioned reflexes there were observed hypnotic phases (compensating, paradixical, and sometimes ultraparadoxical). In all the series unconditioned reflexes increased after total irradiation.
