title: Does the effect of AVP on hypothalamic neurones support its proposed role in endogenous antipyresis?
abstract: The effect of AVP on unit activity and temperature sensitivity was tested in hypothalamic slices of the rat. The results demonstrate that AH/PO neurones in vitro react to AVP by significant changes of both static discharge and temperature sensitivity supporting the idea of direct modulation of thermoregulatory neurones by AVP.
