Abstract
Lesions of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis result in decrement s in sodium ingestion. Specifically, sodium ingestion that is aroused by mineralocorticoids, in addition to sodium depletion, was reduced in rats with large lesions of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis. N eed-free salt ingestion was also reduced. These results suggest that t he bed nucleus of the stria terminalis may be involved in the regulati on of sodium appetite.
