The effect of carbon nanomaterial (CNM) "Taunit" on behavioral responses of laboratory mice
The results of a study of the effects of carbon nanomaterial (CNM) “Taunit” on behavioral responses of laboratory mice are presented. It was found that when administered orally, CNM “Taunit” at a dosage of 450 mg/kg for 14 days in laboratory animals observed intensification of the processes of excitation in the central nervous system that manifests itself in the form of increased spontaneous motor activity, the amount of locomotion and reduction in the threshold for emotional reactions. Change of behavioral responses combined with the morphological and functional changes, which was manifested in the form of a venous plethora of the brain, pituitary gland and cerebellum.
