Abstract
Following varying degrees of water deprivation (0, 24 and 72 h), funct ional activity in the subfornical organ (SFO) of pigeons was measured using the [C-14]2-deoxyglucose method. Increasing levels of water depr ivation produced a significant increase in glucose uptake in SFO. The magnitude of the effect was systematically correlated with morphologic ally defined SFO subdivisions.
