[Heterogeneity of neurocytes of different brain regions to repeated superhigh-frequency irradiation]

The study was based on the analysis of morphological changes in the brain of 45 rats exposed for 10 days to ultrahigh frequency field of moderate gravity. Detailed studies of the state of the basophilic substance and the volume of the nuclei in the course of the neurocyte swelling were undertaken. The response of the neurocytes of various brain divisions was found to be heterogenous. The most pronounced were dystrophic changes in the sincipital area of the cortex. A lack of correlation between the character of the nuclear swelling and the degree of chromatolysis in the thalamic neurocytes was noted.
