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 …

Historical perspective on the identification of functional classes of enteric neurons; Neuronal …

A wide array of biocompatible micro/nanorobots are designed for targeted drug delivery and
precision therapy largely depending on their self-adaptive ability overcoming complex …

Covers all aspects of the structure, function, neurochemistry, transmitter identification and
development of the enteric nervous system This book brings together extensive knowledge …

Neurons in the myenteric plexus of Auerbach of the jejunum, ileum, colon and rectum in 6-
and 24-month-old rats have been visualised by an enzyme histochemical method in laminar …

The neurons of the myenteric plexus of the entire small intestine were stained in young adult
(3–4 mo old) and aging guinea pigs (26–30 mo old). Total length and circumference of the …

The distribution of nerve cells with immunoreactivity for the calcium-binding protein,
calbindin, has been studied in the small intestine of the guinea-pig, and the projections of …

Quantitative changes of enteric glia (EGC) have been implicated in gastrointestinal
disorders. To facilitate future studies of EGC in human pathology, we aimed to characterize …

BACKGROUND Nitric oxide is the most important transmitter in non-adrenergic non-
cholinergic nerves in the human gastrointestinal tract. Impaired nitrergic innervation has …

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 …
