EEG DESYNCHRONIZATION BY X RAYS IN RATS WITH TRANSECTED SPINAL CORDS,

Abstract

Rats with transected spinal cords showed EEG desynchronization and behavioral arousal to whole-body or head-only x-irradiation at dose rates between 0.5 r/sec and 1.5r/sec. No arousal or EEG desynchronzation occurred when only the body of a spinal transected animal was exposed. Results indicate that neither the circulatory system nor the vagi are essential to the arousal reaction to x-irradiation. (Author)
