High reactivity and, at the same time, flexibility of interneuronal contacts were observed after exposure of rat head to 2-100 Gy radiation. At high doses (200-400 Gy) radiation-induced changes played a major role in the development of the cerebral form of radiation sickness. A complete asynapsis is probably one of the causes of the animals death "under the ray" (irradiation of the head with a dose of 1000 Gy).
