brain function and vision

[FIELDRW@aol.com]

Radsafers,

While the brain is fairly radioresistant, does anyone have any insights into 
what brain functions might be impaired in individuals exposed to radiation 
similar to those exposed near the criticality accident in Japan?  I am 
thinking of multiple step and information processing, learning?  

What about vision? Would any effects be expected?

Please respond to me directly at: mailto:bill-field@uiowa.edu
