The Amygdaloid Nuclear Complex and Mechanisms of Release of Vasopressin from the Neurohypophysis

  • Chapter
The Neurobiology of the Amygdala

Part of the book series: Advances in Behavioral Biology ((ABBI,volume 2))

Abstract

The homeostatic control of body water content depends upon the regulated release of vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone, ADH) from the neurohypophysis under ‘osmometric’ and ‘volumetric’ control and in coordination with behavior. While studies on the deafferented hypothalamus, the so-called hypothalamic island, indicate that the supraoptic nuclei and a small bit of surrounding hypothalamus connected to the neurohypophysis are the minimum amount of neural tissue necessary for ‘osmometric’ control of vasopressin release and water balance (Bard and Macht, 1958; Woods and Bard, 1960; Woods, Bard and Bleier, 1966; Sundsten and Sawyer, 1961), the integration of supraoptic neuronal activity with other bodily functions, such as drinking, requires intact ascending and descending pathways.
