This invention relates to a method of inhibiting neuronal cell death, including protecting neronal cells from cell death and the effects of stress, such as high or low pH, comprising administering to the cells an effective amount of Teneurin C Associate Peptide (TCAP). The invention provides the use of TCAP to prevent and/or treat a number of brain conditions, such as hypoxia-ischemia and brain alkalosis. In another aspect, the invention provides a method of treating various pH induced neuronal conditions.
