Opis

Proceedings of the Marcus Wallenberg Symposium on title], held in Lund, Sweden, June-July 1993, to present recent advances in the understanding of how alcohol affects brain neurochemistry. The organization of the volume follows the effects of ethanol from actions on membrane lipids, ion channels an
