Funded Activity Summary

Mapping the neural circuits which control water and salt intake. This project aims to map the brain circuits controlling fluid and salt intake using innovative genetically encoded techniques, which enable precise targeting and manipulation of select neuronal populations. Expected outcomes of this project include constructing detailed maps of the brain circuits for fluid and salt intake by tracing multiple nodes in the network, characterising neuronal populations, and precisely defining their functions. This should provide significant benefits including understanding the brain regions controlling fluid and salt intake which are essential for maintaining fluid homeostasis, and providing a framework for investigating the neural circuits underlying other complex behaviours.
