Figure 1. Schematic illustration of CCK-mediated neural mechanisms for the control of water-intake behaviors

Caption

Two groups of CCK positive excitatory neurons were identified in the SFO that are involved in central thirst-suppressive mechanisms. The activation of these CCK-positive neurons suppressed water intake, and in an opposite way, their inhibition induced water intake even under the water-repleted condition.
