From sensory circumventricular organs to cerebral cortex: Neural pathways controlling thirst and hunger

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, 2019
Much progress has been made during the past 30 years with respect to elucidating the neural and endocrine pathways by which bodily needs for water and energy are brought to conscious awareness through the generation of thirst and hunger.

Thirst neurons anticipate the homeostatic consequences of eating and drinking

Nature, 2016
Thirst motivates animals to drink in order to maintain fluid balance. Thirst has conventionally been viewed as a homeostatic response to changes in blood volume or tonicity.

Neurons for hunger and thirst transmit a negative-valence teaching signal

Nature, 2015
Homeostasis is a biological principle for regulation of essential physiological parameters within a set range. Behavioural responses due to deviation from homeostasis are critical for survival, but motivational processes engaged by physiological need ...

Hunger or thirst state-uncertainty is resolved by outcome evaluation in medial prefrontal cortex to guide decision-making

Nature Neuroscience, 2021
Physiological need states direct decision-making toward re-establishing homeostasis. Using a two-alternative forced choice task for mice that models elements of human decisions, we found that varying hunger and thirst states caused need-inappropriate ...
