| Abstract |
On exploratory class missions to other planets, astronauts will be exposed to varieties and doses of heavy particles, which are not experienced in low earth orbit. These particles can affect neurobehavioral function and potentially interfere with the ability of astronauts to successfully meet mission requirements. While a significant amount of research has been performed on the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of different types of heavy particles on cytogenetic function, little research has been done on the effectiveness of different particles on central nervous system function and on cognitive/behavioral performance. The present paper reviews some recent research on the effects of exposure to different types and energies of heavy particles on the performance of two behavioral tasks which depend upon the integrity of the central dopaminergic system. This review indicates that the RBE of different particles for neurobehavioral dysfunction cannot be predicted only on the basis of the linear energy transfer of the specific particle. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 July 2013.
All research outputs
#7,855,444
of 23,815,455 outputs
Outputs from Radiation and Environmental Biophysics
#131
of 456 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#23,981
of 67,690 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Radiation and Environmental Biophysics
#1
of 2 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,815,455 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 456 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 67,690 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 2 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
