Opis

Filled with rich examples of integrative neurobiology and regulatory physiology, this volume is drawn from the proceedings at the Body-Fluid Homeostasis: Transduction and Integration symposium held in Brazil in 2011. It provides updated research using human and animal models for the control of bodily fluids, thirst, and salt appetite. It explores neural and endocrine control of body fluid balance, arterial pressure, thermoregulation, and ingestive behavior. The contributors discusses recent developments in molecular genetics, cell biology, and behavioral plasticity and review key aspects of brain serotonin and steroid and peptide control of fluid consumption and arterial pressure.
