Interrogating Neuronal Circuits Mediating Body Fluid Homeostasis

Featured Topic — Tuesday, April 24, 2024 — 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM — Convention Center, Room 28A
CNS Section — Chair: Eric Krause — Co-Chair: Lei A. Wang

This session will focus on recent advances in the area of the central regulation of body fluid homeostasis and is of interest to CNS, NCAR, WEH and Renal sections.
