What does the lack of thirst in response to increased osmolality indicates?

What does the lack of thirst in response to increased osmolality indicates? Correct Answer Abnormality of the osmostat

An osmostat abnormality is suggested by lack of thirst in response to increased osmolality. In neurohypophysial DI, this can be seen if the original lesion or surgical damage is so severe that it affects not only the neurohypophysis but also the central anterior osmostat, or if the osmostat is isolated with intact baroreceptors.
