We investigated the high LET carbon ions induced response of salt chamotaxis learning in . The performance of the salt chemotaxis learning was normal even after the exposure at the dose of 100 - 500 Gy. Also, the normal chemotaxis to benzaldehyde was normal, whereas the salt chemotaxis learning was affected by carbon irradiation. These results suggest the specific effect of carbon ions on the neuron network in .
