  2. Sep 26, 2019 · Figure 1: Brain regions controlling thirst. The lamina terminalis (yellow) is a series of interconnected brain structures that act as a central hub to control fluid levels in the body. Some cells in the lamina terminalis are adjacent to large, fluid-filled compartments in the brain, called ventricles (blue).

  3. The key brain structure for the genesis of thirst is the lamina terminalis (LT), a group of three deep forebrain nuclei that coordinate the homeostatic response to fluid imbalance (described in more detail below).

  6. Mar 13, 2018 · For decades, scientists have known that a brain region called the lamina terminalis controls these urges to drink or not. Neurons within three parts of the lamina terminalis—the subfornical organ (SFO), the organum vasculosum lamina terminalis (OVLT), and the median preoptic nucleus (MnPO)—work together to coordinate drinking behaviors.

  7. Mar 16, 2008 · The positron emission tomography (PET) image at top, taken after subjects received an infusion of a concentrated saline solution into the blood to stimulate thirst, shows regions of activity in the left side of the brain in thirsty subjects.

  8. Dec 19, 2016 · The SFO and OVLT are highly interconnected with each other and with a third brain region that is located between them, the median preoptic nucleus (MnPO). These three regions together comprise the lamina terminalis, a forebrain hub that processes information about fluid balance (Figure 3A). Activation of these regions is sufficient to trigger ...
