Sažetak
The highest radio-activity of radon daughters was observed in the hippocampus (Hi)and amygdala (Am) of women who suffered from Alzheimer's Disease. The brain lobes had about half of what was observed in Hi and Am, and the nucleus basalis had twenty time less radioactivity then Hi and Am. The radioactivity found in the nucleus basalis was that which we reported earlier for the temporal and frontal cortex of the normal age-matched brains.
