Cranial irradiation compromises neuronal architecture in the hippocampus
July 30, 2013 | Authors Vipan Kumar Parihar and Charles L. Limoli1
“Cranial irradiation is used routinely for the treatment of nearly all brain tumors, but may lead to progressive and debilitating impairments of cognitive function.”
“Significant evidence has now linked radiation exposure of the CNS (Central Nervous System) to the eventual onset of cognitive dysfunction (5). The affected cognitive domains are diverse, and include disruptions in learning, memory, processing speed, attention, and executive function (3).”

“As the fourth largest source of pollution after air, water and noise, MW radiation induces many biological effects [1]. The brain is the most sensitive target organ for MW radiation, where mitochondrial injury occurs earlier and more severely than in other organs. Studies on the effects of MW radiation on brain energy metabolism have aroused great concern.”
