Abstract

Single administrations of LiCl in fluid deprived pigeons produced immediate and sustained drinking which was (a) significantly greater than in NaCl-injected birds, (b) a function of the dosage of lithium, and (c) persistent for several days following the highest dosage used. Experiment 2 employed the same procedures to examine the effects of lithium upon fluid consumption in the rat. Results indicated that single administrations of lithium had little effect on water consumption.
