Popis: A 24-hour electron microscopic examination of neuronal and capillary ultrastructure in sensorimotor complex was performed after whole-body neutron irradiation of mature rats in the dose of 10 Gy. The results suggest that postradiation neuronal changes, observed for 6 hours after irradiation, are mainly caused by direct effect of ionizing radiation. At later terms this process is influenced by blood capillary lesions. The effect of neutron irradiation at the ultrastructural level is similar to that of rarely ionizing radiation.
