Abstract

The effect of long-wave ultraviolet radiation on higher nervous activity was studied in mice. Irradiation with suberythema doses was found to have a beneficial effect on the rate of formation of a conditioned defensive active avoidance reflex. Of two schemes of irradiation tested—with constant and with gradually increasing doses—the latter proved to be more effective.
