Abstract
Subclinical, repeated exposures of F344 rats to sarin resulted in brain alterations in densities of chlonergic receptor subtypes that may be associated with memory loss and cognitive dysfunction. The exposures also depressed the immune system. The rat appears to be a good model for studying the effects of subclinical exposure to a nerve gas.
