Summary
This work deals with the quantitative characteristic of the sensitivity of the nervous system to ionizing radiation. The early reaction of the nervous system as revealed by the electroencephalogram was used as an index of sensitivity. The results show the relationship between the time of onset of the reaction and the dose rate. There was a general regularity in the response of the excitable systems to radiation.
