Irradiation of pregnant female aniamals and women with ionizing radiation may cause the appearance of a variety of congenital deformities in the offspring and may interfere with their postnatal development. L. Hicks points out the particular sensitivity of the nervous system of the embryo to ionizing radiation. Thus irradiation of rats on the 9th, 11th, 12th, and 13th days of prenatal development may cause, in addition to somatic deformities, anencephaly (on the 9th day), hydrocephaly (on the 11th day), microcephaly (on the 12th13th day), failure of development of the subcortical structures, the corpora callosa and so on. The influence of ionizing radiation on the nervous system during antenatal irradiation has been studied mainly morphologically. There are no indications in the literature of the state of the higher nervous activity of fully grown animals exposed at various periods of their antenatal development to the action of ionizing radiation. The effect of ionizing radiation, applied in various doses and at different stages of embryonic development, on the state of the higher nervous activity of animals was studied. (auth)
