A learned oral signal drives long-lasting thirst satiation
Drinking quenches thirst long before the ingested water has been absorbed. Here we investigate the mechanism by combining sham drinking, which uncouples water ingestion from rehydration, with recordings of thirst-promoting neurons in the brain. We show that sham drinking suppresses thirst and rapidly inhibits thirst-promoting neurons despite no water absorption. Remarkably, this suppression of…
