Radiation-Induced Cognitive Decline Impairs Hippocampal Neurogenesis

Vignesh Subramanian ’24 Figure 1: A radiograph captured by X-ray, which produces ionizing radiation, a form of radiation that poses risks of damage to internal tissue. Ionizing radiation is any radiation traveling in the form of electromagnetic waves or particles with enough energy to knock electrons out of the orbit of atoms. While therapies such as radiotherapy for cancer are intended to emit ionizing radiation … Continue reading Radiation-Induced Cognitive Decline Impairs Hippocampal Neurogenesis
