... levels continued to rise. The relative importance of osmotic disturbance and stress on the differential responses of the 2 groups of MCH neurons to changing salinity is discussed, together with a consideration of the potential role of MCH in osmoregulation.

... in the frequency of excitatory post-synaptic potentials and an associated rise in the rate of action potential discharge. Such responses could be evoked by small (<+2%) increases in osmolality, but not by isotonic solutions. These results suggest that the OVLT plays a functional role in the osmoregulation...
