It was previously demonstrated that radiobiological effects can change appreciably in space flights. However, there is no information in the known literature concerning the effects of inflight radiation on higher nervous activity (HNA). Yet this is an important question, since mental efficiency depends largely on the state of HNA. It was established in model laboratory experiments that dynamic factors (acceleration and vibration) modify the effect of radiation on HNA. For this reason, it was necessary to investigate the effect on HNA of radiation combined with the factors occurring in space flights.
