Mechanisms of osmotic and mechanical transduction in the organum vasculosum lamina terminalis
Mammals maintain a constant internal osmotic environment due to the existence of specialized osmosensory neurons which detect fluctuations in body fluid osmolality and can trigger homeostatic regulatory mechanisms to correct such deviations. The organum vasculosum of the lamina terminalis (OVLT) is...
