• We will review the recent data and suggest instead that the hypothalamus is the primary regulator of states of consciousness.

• The osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus are reset to maintain a low plasma osmolality.

• Relevant circuitry again interconnects processing systems with the orbital frontal, limbic (amygdala and hypothalamus), and brainstem (periaqueductal gray) regions.
