A stereotaxic method is described for the in vivo study of neurohypophysial function in the rat. The infusion of nanogram quantities of acetylcholine or carbachol close to or directly into the neurohypophysis of water-loaded, ethanol-anesthetized rats resulted in a decreased urine volume and increased urine conductivity. These changes were matched by microunit quantities of Pitressin. It is concluded that acetylcholine may act directly on the neurohypophysis to modulate antidiuretic hormone release. The failure of earlier in vitro experiments to reveal this action may have been due to the high basal rate of hormone release in such experiments.
