The brain of a mouse anticipates thirst after eating so that they feel thirsty before a change in the blood volume or the homeostatic imbalance arises. While the full mechanism is still to be understood, certain neurons in the so-called subfornical organ play a role in this anticipatory regulation of thirst in mice.
