Irradiation of Neurons with High-Energy Charged Particles: An In Silico Modeling Approach.

In this work, a stochastic computational model of microscopic energy deposition events is used to study for the first time damage to irradiated neuronal cells of the mouse hippocampus. An extensive library of radiation tracks for different particle types is created to score energy deposition in smal...
