ABSTRACT
Bilateral lesions of nucleus septal lateralis resulted in a sustained and significant increase in water intake, without any change in food intake. Intracerebral injection of dopamine (DA) or of spiperone (a central D2-receptor antagonist) did not elicit any change in water or food intake. The polydipsia resulting from septal lesions is thus a primary polydipsia, which is independent of food intake, and is not mediated by neurotransmitter dopamine.
