Studies were made of changes in the higher nervous activity of rats protected with chemical substances and of those not protected duning x-ray irradiation. A method is recommended for studying defence conditioned reflexes in rats. When the rats are irradiated with doses of350 to 700 r the conditioned and unconditioned defence reflexes become higher. When the irradiation is continued some animals display an inhibition of the higber nervous activity, whereas in others-the initial excitation (in doses of 200 to 400 r) repeatedly alternates with inhibition and new waves of excitation.
