Little has been revealed about '''silica pathways''', which apparently was a technology in the construction of [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] "brains." [[William Adama|Commander Adama]] compares silica pathways to a brain of sorts. He quickly mentions the technology as he challenges [[Number Two|Leoben Conoy]] of being a [[Humanoid Cylon|new form of Cylon]] while the two are walking deep inside [[Ragnar Anchorage]] | Little has been revealed about '''silica pathways''', which apparently was a technology in the construction of [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] "brains."

Apparently, Cylons are affected by the radiation generated by [[Ragnar]]'s planetary storm. The radiation effects are not immediate on even humanoid Cylons, occurring within the space of hours after initial exposure. Humans appear to experience no symptoms to exposure. | Apparently, Cylons are affected by the radiation generated by [[Ragnar]]'s planetary storm.

It is unknown how quickly (or slowly) mechanical Cylons are affected by Ragnar's radiation. | ||
Based on observations of the two humanoid Cylons in the Miniseries after their extended stays within the station, symptoms seem to include elements of headache, nausea, and some level of fever or other heat-producing symptom. A Humanoid Cylon sweats with extended exposure | Based on observations of the two humanoid Cylons in the Miniseries after their extended stays within the station, symptoms seem to include elements of headache, nausea, and some level of fever or other heat-producing symptom.

Whatever silica pathways may be, medical scanning technology cannot distinguish between them and human brain tissue. Otherwise, a brain scan would visually show the differences between Cylon and human brains, foregoing the need for [[Gaius Baltar]]'s [[Cylon detector]]. It is possible that silica pathways are a type of nanotechnology. | Whatever silica pathways may be, medical scanning technology cannot distinguish between them and human brain tissue.
