Sodium Hunger

More about the book

Focusing on sodium hunger, Professor Schulkin examines its role as a model for understanding motivated behavior in animals. He delves into the intricate physiological and endocrinological mechanisms that regulate sodium balance and influence the brain's drive to seek and consume salt. The book also outlines a neural network responsible for coordinating salt-seeking behaviors, offering insights into both the biological underpinnings and the broader implications of this essential need.
