| Abstract | An integrated neuropsychological study and recording of auditory cognitive evoked potentials (EPs) using the three-stimulus oddball paradigm was performed in groups of ten subjects who participated in the liquidation of the consequences of the Chernobyl accident aged 50.5 ± 4.0 years and ten healthy subjects aged 47.0 ± 6.0 years. The neuropsychological study showed impairment of higher mental functions, including aspontaneity, fatigability, a decrease in the auditory-verbal and visual memories, and higher motor function deficiency, in cleanup workers (usually referred to as liquidators). Analysis of the amplitude and time characteristics of the P300 component of the auditory cognitive EP showed a decrease in the amplitude of this component in all cortical areas of liquidators in both experimental situations and for all stimuli compared to healthy subjects of the same age. Analysis of the latent period (LP) of P300 in liquidators showed the most distinct increase in the situation of passive audition for all types of stimuli. Analysis of the patterns of reactive rearrangements in different experimental situations showed that the P300 LPs of healthy subjects were similar for all types of stimuli during passive audition and were higher for the significant stimulus in the situation of counting. Liquidators were characterized by an type of response, with the LPs of responses to most stimuli increased in both experimental situations. Analysis of regional changes in the P300 LP showed that the differences in the P300 LP between the groups were the largest in the frontal areas of the left hemisphere. In addition, liquidators exhibited “uneconomical, excessive” responses as compared to normal responses, which suggests a decrease in the attention and memory capacities and could contribute to the impairment of higher mental functions. The changes in the amplitude and time characteristics of the P300 component of auditory EPs suggest deceleration of perception, processing, and analysis of information combined with weakened inhibition. The changes found in liquidators are similar to those observed in elderly people, which supports the hypotheses on accelerated brain aging and on pathological aging caused by low-dose irradiation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
