[QUOTE="Commercialfarmer, post: 1154396, member: 14544"] I actually didn't see a great answer in that link. With water deprivation, the sodium concentration in the neurons increases dangerously high so that when water is re-introduced rapidly there is a significant difference in ion concentration of sodium between the cells and the fluid outside of the cells. Since a gradient in ions will drive water one way or the other to make a solution that is equal concentration (when the barrier is permeable to water but not the ions), the water crosses the cell barrier at too high of a rate causing damage to the cells.
