Angiotensin (ANG) II is a powerful and phylogenetically widespread stimulus to thirst and …

The recognition of histamine (HA)[or 2 (4-imidazolyl) ethylamine] as a messenger molecule
in cell-to-cell communication began early in this century. The early history of HA was …

Abstract [This book presents] explanations of motivation, using an eclectic framework that
balances biological, behavioral, and cognitive theories. Not only are these theories …

Using probes to manipulate hypothalamic neuronal histamine, we report here that changes
in neuronal histamine modulate physiological feeding behavior in rats. Infusion of α …

Notes that much of normal drinking occurs around mealtime and that little is known about the
physiological mechanisms involved, despite the identification of neurological substrates and …

In this study, we examined the effect of a putative neurotransmitter or a neuromodulator
histamine (HA) on the feeding behavior to elucidate its physiological function in the central …

We examined the hypothesis that histidine is a regulator of short-term food and water intake
in rats and that this control is through histidine's action as a precursor for histamine. The …

Thirst and Sodium Appetite: Physiological Basis describes the phenomenon of thirst and the
mechanisms that define the need for water. Thirst and appetite has generated much study …

Feeding is an intrinsic and important behavior regulated by complex molecular, cellular and
circuit-level mechanisms, one of which is the brain histaminergic network. In the past …
