Changes in drinking behavior caused by superior cervical ganglionectomy and pinealectomy in rats

The effect of superior cervical ganglionectomy (SCGx) or pinealectomy (Px) on drinking behavior was examined in rats subjected to a restricted photoperiod (i.e. 4 h of light per day). Both in male and female rats SCGx depressed water intake significantly from 1 to 3 days after surgery. After osmolar...
