Comparisons of best-fit predictions (red curves) for the best-supported NTE_TE_lin_S2 model (Table 1) with the data (black circles). Blue squares indicate mean response values at each dose, and the black dashed line indicates baseline response in unirradiated rats. As described in the main text, the response variable is defined as the negative logarithm of the fraction of time spent exploring a novel object. This implies that higher response values indicate more severe radiation damage to novel object recognition. Our model assumes that the TE dose response “slope” differs by LET category, whereas NTE occur at all LET values.
