The intramural projections of nerve cells containing serotonin (5-HT), calcitonin gene-related
peptide (CGRP), vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and nitric oxide synthase or reduced …

We carried out this study with the purpose of analyzing the density of neurons of the
myenteric plexus in the mesenteric, intermediate and antimesenteric regions of the ileum of …

To demonstrate the normal topography and structure of the enteric nervous system (ENS) in
the human colon, the colonic wall of patients (n= 10, mean age 66.3 years), who underwent …

The reticulum and the reticular groove are functional distinct compartments within the ovine
forestomach. While the reticulum takes part in various motor functions, such as mixing …

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: As our understanding of the enteric nervous system improves, it
becomes clear that it is no longer sufficient to simply determine whether enteric ganglion …

A histochemical technique was used to stain the myenteric neurons in the intact wall of the
small intestine of mice, guinea-pigs and sheep. The length and diameter of the small …

Background It remains unclear whether regional variation exists in the human enteric
nervous system (ENS) ie, whether intrinsic innervation varies along the gut. Recent …

Introduction: The enteric nervous system rivals the brain in complexity and can function
independently. There are numerous reports on its development in gut but the literature is …

The definition of the nerve cell types of the myenteric plexus of the mouse small intestine has
become important, as more researchers turn to the use of mice with genetic mutations to …

The cytochemical technique for the demonstration of cytochrome oxidase has been used to
locate the sites of chronically active neurons in the CNS. The current experiments were …
