title: [Effect of x-rays on the pacemaker neurons of Helix pomatia].
abstract: The effect of superlethal doses of ionizing radiation on exciting and electrical properties of giant neurons of the central nervous system of Helix pomatia has been investigated. At early times following irradiation the excitability does not significantly change whereas the membrane potential, resistance and pump-induced hyperpolarization increase. At later times, a stabilization of these parameters is followed by a diminution of resistance, a decrease of membrane potential and pump-induced hyperpolarization, and even the neuron death.
