Article Synopsis
- Understanding radiation-induced effects on the CNS is vital for assessing risks in both medical treatments (like radiotherapy) and occupations (such as nuclear workers and astronauts).
- The study uses an adverse outcome pathway (AOP) approach to connect molecular events caused by radiation to cognitive decline, identifying key events linking energy deposition to impaired learning and memory.
- Evidence for the AOP was gathered through a literature review, highlighting gaps in knowledge that need to be filled to improve risk assessments and applicability to other cognitive disorders.
