Abstract
Previously [1] we reported that during chronic normoxic respiratory acidosis, lasting 8-11 h, the CSF pH tends to return toward normal values despite the persistence of acidosis in the blood. At the same time the CBF, which increased at the beginning, returned to the initial values. This tendency of the CBF and of the CSF pH to adapt has been repeatedly observed in chronic experimental conditions [3, 4, 5, 6, 8].
