The enteric nervous system, a major subdivision of the autonomic nervous system, is known
for its neurochemical heterogeneity and complexity. The myenteric plexus, one of its two …

The enteric nervous system exerts local control on the gastrointestinal motility, exocrine and
endocrine secretions, ensures proper blood supply, and modulates the immune and …

It is well established that acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter at several distinct sites in the
mammalian enteric nervous system. However, identification of the cholinergic neurons has …

The goal of this report is to summarise the current knowledge on the projection pathways of
enteric neurones innervating the muscle and mucosa in different regions of the gut …

The projections of myenteric neurons within the myenteric plexus of the guinea-pig small
intestine were established using retrograde tracing in organotypic culture. Three days after …

Enteric neurons have distinct neurochemical codings in each species. The basal tone of the
gastrointestinal tract of the rabbit is low and produces neurally evoked pendular movements …

Background Access to tissue, difficulties with dissection, and poor visibility of enteric ganglia
have hampered electrophysiological recordings of human enteric neurons. Here, we report …

Background & Aims: Myenteric ganglia in the human gastrointestinal tract contain a mixture
of many different types of nerve cells that cannot be distinguished by their location. The aim …

Intrinsic nitrergic (NO) neurons of the guinea-pig esophagus were histologically studied to
elucidate the physiological significance of the myenteric plexus located in the esophageal …

Previous studies have identified the chemistries, shapes, projections and
electrophysiological characteristics of several populations of neurons in the distal colon of …
