Receptors Subserving Hunger and Thirst

  • Chapter

Part of the Handbook of Sensory Physiology book series (1729,volume 3 / 1)

Abstract

“Without eating no life, without life no drinking.” These obvious facts may explain the keen interest shown by psychologists and physiologists for the mechanisms behind the sensations of hunger and thirst. As subjective sensations hunger and thirst can only be usefully examined in ourselves. Nevertheless, psychological observations on these urges in human beings have given rise to fruitful studies in animals which have provided valuable information on the mechanisms regulating caloric and water intake. Literally, this chapter should deal only with brain receptors subserving hunger and thirst. No effort is made, therefore, to present a comprehensive picture of what is known about the complex regulations of food and water consumption. The role played by oropharyngeal, gastric, and hepatic receptors in these regulations is neglected. Still, if this chapter had to be a strict description of the nature of brain receptors subserving hunger and thirst, one, or at most two sentences would have been sufficient. These receptors have one feature in common with the Holy Ghost; they are often talked about but nobody appears to have seen them so far. This feature is no denial of the existence of either. Much evidence has been produced that central receptors involved in the regulation of eating and drinking reside in the hypothalamus and/or closely associated parts of the brain, although alimentary behaviour undoubtedly can also be modified from other parts of the brain (cf. Stevenson, 1969).
