Highlights

•

Reviewed evidence indicates potential effects of low doses of IR on cognition.

•

Gaps in our understanding of radiation induced cognitive deficit were identified.

•

Childhood cancer, A-bomb survivors and occupational cohorts may be informative to study radiation cognitive changes.

•

Animal models may elucidate the mechanism of radiation induced cognitive effects.
