Abstract

This study investigated the histological changes in the hippocampus of the brain in rats exposed to radiation using a plain x-ray. A total of 20 rats were used for the experiment. The rats were divided into four (4) groups (n=5). Group A is the control group while groups B – D were exposed to radiation (255kv) for a specific duration. Water Morris maze was used to assess the neurobehavioral changes in memory and learning. Histological procedures were carried out to see the changes in the histology of the hippocampus. Results show that there was a significant difference in the time taken for the rats to reach the cemented block between the four groups (F (3, 8) = 6.926, p
