The hunger for sodium has been used as a model system in which to
study how the brain produces motivated behaviour. In this account
of the field Jay Schulkin draws together information across a range
of disciplines and topics, ranging from the ecology of salt
ingestion to the sodium molecule and the action of various
hormones. The phenomenon of sodium hunger was discovered by Curt
Richter, the great American psychobiologist, over 50 years ago. Its
study has been of interest for some time: to naturalists,
psychologists, endocrinologists, physiologists and neuroscientists.
This book offers a systematic account of the behaviour of the
sodium hungry animal, the endocrine and physiological mechanisms
that act to maintain sodium balance and then act on the brain to
promote the search for and the ingestion of salt. Finally, the book
provides a description of a neural network that orchestrates the
behaviour of salt seeking and salt ingestion. Graduate students and
research workers in psychology, physiology and neuroscience will
find valuable information in this review.
