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 enteric nervous system plays a central role in the control of gastrointestinal function. To
understand how its circuits operate, it is necessary to identify and characterise the different …

This report summarises the characteristics of target specific projection and neurochemical
coding patterns of motor and interneuronal pathways in the gastric enteric nervous system …

The guinea‐pig small intestine has been very widely used to study the physiology,
pharmacology and morphology of the enteric nervous system. It also provides an ideal …

This paper, written for the symposium in honour of more than 40 years' contribution to
autonomic research by Professor Geoffrey Burnstock, highlights the progress made in …

An exceptionally large number of neurons are located within the wall of the gastrointesн tinal
tract. It has been suggested that, at least in the guinea pig, the number of neurons in the …

The ability of the enteric nervous system (ENS) to mediate reflex activity in the absence of
inputs from the central nervous system (CNS) has been appreciated for a long time. Bayliss …

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

Views about the roles and nature of the enteric nervous system have changed dramatically
in the last ten years. This system of neurons is recognized to control, through reflex …

The innervation of the alimentary tract (or enteric nervous system, ENS) represents the third
division of the autonomic nervous system and it appears to be unique for its intrinsic ability to …
