Abstract

Thirst is a powerful sensation. The drive to drink is critical for maintaining fluid balance, and defending against challenges to body fluid homeostasis is essential. The neural mechanisms that control thirst and the resultant drinking behavior have been well studied. Although the understanding of the system remains incomplete, scientists have produced strong working models that describe the relevant stimuli, the means by which these stimuli are detected by the nervous system, and some fundamental elements of the circuits that respond to these stimuli by changing behavior.
