Thirst arises from fluid volume deficits and is generated by integrating osmotic and hormonal signals at the lamina terminalis with afferent information from intrathoracic baroreceptors.

Thirst is important for maintaining body fluid homeostasis and may arise from deficits in either intracellular or extracellular fluid volume. Neural signals arising from osmotic and hormonal influences on the lamina terminalis may be integrated within the brain, with afferent information relayed from intrathoracic baroreceptors via the hindbrain to generate thirst.
