Therapeutic cranial irradiation for pediatric patients
often results in long term cognitive side effects, such
as memory loss. Using anatomical analysis, we identified
a correlation between memory function, as determined by
the novel object test, and a subset of brain structures
in the young irradiated mouse. Structures identified are
those previously shown to be important in novel object
recognition, demonstrating the potential for
neuroanatomy to act as a marker of cognitive deficit in
the described mouse model.
