pH AND BRAIN FUNCTION.

Institute of Neurology, Queen Square, London WC1N 3BG, UK
Over the last two decades, considerable information has been generated with regard to the regulation of brain pH and how neural cells respond to pH changes. Until now most of this information has been disseminated in various scientific journals. Thus, one of the aims of the editors of this book was to create a book that would render such information accessible to an audience that has no special training in this field. The editors largely achieve their aim with this book, and the reader will certainly feel like an expert in the field by the last page.
The book itself is comprised of 33 chapters, which have been grouped logically into seven sections. Section 1 (5 chapters) is entitled `Introduction to pH'. This section covers a wide range of topics
