Differing concepts and research approaches have resulted in some uncertainties about some quantitative relationships. Sikov MR () “Effects of Low Dose Prenatal Irradiation on the Central Nervous System.” Report of a Workshop. Seattle, Washington, Pacific Northwest Laboratory.

Smith PG and Douglas AJ () "Mortality of Workers at the Sellafield Plant of British Nuclear Fuels.". Potential effects on the central nervous system (CNS) are particularly important.

A vigorous ground-based cellular and animal model research program will help quantify the risk to the CNS from space radiation exposure on future long distance space missions and promote the development of optimized countermeasures.

In its recommendations, the ICRP considered the radiation risks after exposure during prenatal development. This report is a critical review of new experimental animal data on biological effects and evaluations of human studies after prenatal radiation published since the by: Some years ago, I became convinced that early, short periods of severe malnutrition had an adverse effect on the development of the central nervous system (Platt and Stewart, ).

The effects of prenatal irradiation on the growth and development of the mammalian embryo and fetus, mediated through direct radiation injury of developing tissues (Br87), include gross structural malformations, growth retardation, embryo lethality, sterility, and central nervous system abnormalities (UN77).

Radiation therapy. Ionizing radiation is classified as a neurotoxicant. A cohort study concluded that irradiation of the brain with dose levels overlapping those imparted by computed tomography can, in at least some instances, adversely affect intellectual development.

Radiation therapy at doses around " Gy" was found to cause cognitive decline that was especially apparent in young. (1) None of these reports, however, dealt specifically with the effects on the nervous system.

More recently, inanother committee of NAS-NRC published a reported entitled “The Effects on Populations of Exposure to Low Levels of Ionizing Radiation.” (2) In that report some references are made to the nervous system.

Fig. 3G shows a representative embryo that was microinjected at the 1-cell stage with atg MO, exposed to a low dose of ionizing radiation at 6 hpf, and analyzed by TUNEL staining at 24 hpf. Elevated levels of TUNEL positive cells are seen in the central nervous system, retina, and by: Damage to the nervous system As early as autumnthe Belarussian psychiatrist Kondrashenko (Minsk) warned of the effects of the catastrophe on the central nervous system.

He reported on organic changes to the brain amongst people exposed to radiation. Decade-old reports exist on damage to nerves and senses as well as on headaches.Robert Ader, Ph.D. Introduction. Robert Ader, Ph.D. () was a member of the faculty of the Dept.

of Psychiatry at the University of Rochester School of Medicine for fifty-five years. A pioneer in the field of psychoneuroimmunology, Ader was internationally recognized for work establishing the influence of the brain on the immune system.
