Because of the dispersed nature of nerves and blood vessels, standard histology cannot
provide a global and associated observation of the enteric nervous system (ENS) and …

Neuronal activity and many pathological states in the CNS are accompanied by transient
astrocytic swelling, which affects excitability, extrasynaptic transmission, and neuron–glia …

Pathological states in the central nervous system lead to dramatic changes in the activity of
neuroactive substances in the extracellular space, to changes in ionic homeostasis and …

Biocytin, a chemical compound that is an amide formed from the vitamin biotin and the
amino acid L-lysine, has been used as a histological dye to stain nerve cells …

Background Ex vivo intracellular recordings and dye fills, combined with
immunohistochemistry, are a powerful way to analyze the enteric nervous system of …

Myenteric afterhyperpolarizing (AH) neurons are primary afferent neurons within the
