title: Central control of vasopressin release and thirst.
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.
