SOME PERSISTING EFFECTS OF NUCLEAR RADIATION EXPOSURE ON THE BEHAVIOR OF THE RHESUS MONKEY

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4332303
Ten 10-minute observations were made of the freecage behavior of each of 46 monkeys during days 31 through 60 following exposure of 40 of the monkeys to a nuclear detonation. It was found that the frequency of responses to body parts was significantly greater for the irradiated animals than for the control animals. The frequency of defecation under the experimental conditions was also significantly greater for the irradiated animals than for the control animals. (auth)
