Neurobiology of body fluid homeostasis transduction and integration

The importance of the regulation of salt is of clinical relevance given its relation to the epidemic of high blood pressure and that virtually all foods throughout the EU and USA will be mandated to reduce their salt content. This book covers virtually all aspects of the innate drives of thirst and...
