Abstract

Rats were depleted of body sodium and presented with solutions of either sodium or non-sodium salts. Patterns of licking were monitored with a drinkometer. The rats given the sodium salts drank at a high rate throughout a 100 sec. observation period. The rats given the non-sodium salts stopped drinking after the first few licks. The difference between the groups was statistically significant within 5 sec. after ingestion began.
