(B) The second-row images are from a typical 0.5-Gy–irradiated rat. (C) The third-row images are from a typical 1.0-Gy–irradiated rat. (D) The bottom-row images are from a typical 1.5-Gy–irradiated rat. The brain size of the animals in the radiation-exposed groups is clearly smaller than that of the control rats.
