Aims:
Aim 1. Assess the immediate and long-term effects of radiation on spontaneous locomotor activity and body temperature, two primary indices of circadian function, in individual animals.
Aim 2. Assess post-irradiation mRNA and protein expression in brain regions important for sustained attention and circadian function.
