Re: radiation effects on the brain

["Gibbs, S Julian" <s.julian.gibbs@vanderbilt.edu>]

During my 40+ years of research and teaching in 
radiobiology, I have never run across anything indicating a 
radiation effect in the CNS even similar to the chronic 
disease you describe.  Although this does not prove it 
cannot happen, it seems very remote.
