The enteric nervous system (ENS), arranged in different nerve networks within the wall of the
gastrointestinal tract, harbours numerous different neuron types which can be grouped into …

Enteric neurons have been classified by their shapes, their physiological properties, specific
histochemical, and immunohistochemical staining, and other distinguishing features …

Neurofilaments are 10-nm diameter protein fibers found within neurons and are composed
predominantly of a triplet of polypeptides usually referred to as low-, medium-, and high …

The aim of the study was:(1) to test the suitability of neurofilament (NF)
immunohistochemistry for representing the shapes of morphologically defined neuron types …

An important requirement in pathological diagnostics in the human enteric nervous system
(ENS) is the estimation of the total numbers of neurons and of proportions of distinct …

It has been reported previously that ratmyenteric neurons have neurofilament (NF)
immunoreactivity that differs from the brain. Now theresult of a study of neurofilaments and …

Previous studies have demonstrated that neurofilament proteins are expressed by type II
neurons in the enteric plexuses of a range of species from mouse to human. However, two …

Major advances in our understanding of the functional heterogeneity of enteric neurons are
driven by the application of newly developed, innovative methods. In contrast to this …

Abstract Background/Aims: Recent studies with neurofilament antibodies as neuronal
markers have shown subpopulations of myenteric neurons that do not contain neurofilament …

The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is unique compared to all other internal organs; it is the only
organ with its own nervous system and its own population of intrinsic sensory neurons …
