Irradiation parameters. Fractionated whole brain irradiation was performed on the Oriatron 6e, 6-MeV electron beam LINAC at Lausanne University Hospital. Mice received three doses of 10 Gy separated by 48 hours using a 17 mm graphite applicator at either CONV (CONV-RT; 0.09 Gy/second) or ultra-high dose-rate FLASH (FLASH-RT, delivered at 5.6 × 106 Gy/second in a single 1.8 μs pulse)

ARTICLE ABSTRACT
Functional preservation of cognition and LTP after hypofractionated FLASH-RT are linked to a protection of synaptic integrity and a reduction in neuroinflammation over protracted after irradiation times.
