Summary/Abstract: Chronic effects of low-intensity irradiation in 0,25 Gy doze on the behavioral reactions and state of the higher nervous activity (HNA) of white rat males of 7 months age are studied. The behavioral responses estimated in an "open field" and the working memory of animals – in the elevated 8-radial labyrinth. It has been demonstrated that chronic influence of low-intensity irradiation causes the elevation of locomotory activity, emotionality increase, anxiety development and impairment of short-term memory that tells about the development of neurotic reaction processes in animals irradiated.
