Low-dose proton radiation effects in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease - Implications for space travel.

Low-dose proton radiation effects in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease - Implications for space travel.

Space radiation represents a significant health risk for astronauts. Ground-based animal studies indicate that space radiation affects neuronal functions such as excitability, synaptic transmission, and plasticity, and it may accelerate the onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Although protons re...
