报告题目/Title:

Neurobiology of Drives and Their Competition

讲座摘要/Abstract:

Because of the utmost importance of water and food, animals exhibit strong innate behaviors to search for and consume water or food when they are thirsty or hungry. 

These innate drives, or motives for action to maintain homeostasis, are also powerful means for acquiring learned skills and behaviors. 

In this talk, I will summarize our recent work linking thirst to motivated behavior and investigating neural dynamics underlying thirst motivation. 

I will further discuss how animals resolve competing needs, such as thirst and hunger, across time.
