Abstract

Spontaneous cerebral lesions in rats are rare. Similarly, there is a paucity in the literature regarding effects of isotope irradiation on the rat central nervous system. The present work was undertaken to study the longterm changes that could be induced by gamma irradiation from cerebrally implanted radon seeds in rats.
