Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of increased salt intake on blood pressure of chimpanzees

TL;DR: The hedonic liking for salt and avid ingestion was apt during human prehistory involving hunter–gatherer–scavenger existence in the interior of continents with a scarcity of salt, but is maladaptive in urban technological life with salt cheap and freely available.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brain responses associated with consciousness of breathlessness (air hunger)

TL;DR: The commonality of regions of mesencephalon, diencephalon and limbic/paralimbic areas involved in primal emotions engendered by the basic vegetative systems including hunger for air, thirst, hunger, pain, micturition, and sleep, is discussed with particular reference to the cingulate gyrus.
Journal ArticleDOI

The importance of vasopressin in the development and maintenance of DOC-salt hypertension in the rat.

TL;DR: It is concluded that vasopressin plays a major role as a pressor agent in both the onset and maintenance of DOC-salt hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuroimaging of cerebral activations and deactivations associated with hypercapnia and hunger for air

TL;DR: The striking response of limbic and paralimbic regions points to these structures having a singular role in the affective sequelae entrained by disturbance of basic respiratory control whereby a process of which the authors are normally unaware becomes a salient element of consciousness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuroimaging of genesis and satiation of thirst and an interoceptor-driven theory of origins of primary consciousness

TL;DR: Consciousness of thirst, a primal vegetative emotion, and satiation of thirst appear to be subserved by phylogenetically ancient brain regions, salient to current discussion on evolutionary emergence of primary consciousness.
