Central control of vasopressin release and thirst

Acta Paediatr Scand Suppl. 1983:305:36-9. doi: 10.1111/j.1651-2227.1983.tb09857.x.

Abstract

The effects of changes in the composition and/or the volume of the extracellular fluid on central receptors involved in the regulation of water balance are discussed. A review of results obtained in adults is given, followed by a discussion of possible roles for vasopressin during the neonatal period.
