title: [Changes in the spinal cord potentials of the rat in whole-body irradiation at a dose of 360 Gy].
abstract: In acute experiments in rats the effect of the whole-body X-irradiation with a dose of 360 Gy on induced somatosensory spinal cord potentials (SCP) was studied. The SSP components which show decrease in intensity and period depending upon a dose and time after irradiation were determined. The destruction of spinal input control systems was found. The causes and possible pathways of neuronal response depression which is probably due to synaptic structure damage have been considered. It is assumed that spinal potentials can be used as additive index of the extent of reaction to irradiation.
