Visual acuity in medaka ( <i>Oryzias latipes</i> ) larvae after sub-lethal gamma irradiation during early embryogenesis
Sub-lethal gamma irradiation transiently induced localized damage especially in the ventral retina and reduction in eye size, both of which were fully repaired within 21 dpf. Behavioral analysis demonstrated that such transient, repairable damage does not impair visual function in irradiated medaka larvae.
