We have no direct evidence for the interaction of ionizing radiation with the central neuronal tissue (nerve ring) of the nervous system in . Localized ionizing irradiation is useful to analyze radiation effects at a cellular or tissue level. Thus, to investigate the effects on the nerve ring, we used the heavy-ion microbeam system installed at the Takasaki Ion accelerators for Advanced Radiation Application of JAEA. To achieve during-learning irradiation, we have developed the live-targeting system for non-paralyzed using the micro-total analysis systems to restrict their motion, and this will be discussed.
