This is volume 7 in the series "Progress in Brain Research." Doctor Aladjalova is obviously very well versed in the subject matter of brain electrophysiology. In the course of her exposition of the "infraslow potential oscillations" (ISPO) which she has observed under many conditions. Doctor Aladjalova presents many valuable summaries of different aspects of electrophysiology that should prove useful even to experts. Her main subject, however, is the documentation of the appearance of ISPO, changes in externally recorded potentials that vary with periods of about four to ten per minute and which may attain amplitudes well over 1 mv. She seeks to correlate these ISPO with physiological states and processes. Slow intracellularly recorded potentials are observed in molluscan neurons by a number of workers and they appear to be correlated with metabolic events, circadian rhythms, etc. However, in the mammalian central nervous system intracellular recordings have not revealed such slow . . .
