The enteric nervous system (ENS), the intrinsic innervation of the gastrointestinal tract,
consists of numerous types of neurons, and glial cells, that are distributed in two …

The ENS resembles the brain and differs both physiologically and structurally from any other
region of the PNS. Recent experiments in which crest cell migration has been studied with …

Dopaminergic neurons are present in both plexuses of the murine bowel and are
upregulated after extrinsic denervation but play unknown roles in enteric nervous system …

ABSTRACT RET is a member of the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) superfamily, which can
transduce signalling by glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and neurturin …

The bowel is the only organ of the body in which neural reflexes can be elicited in the
absence of input from the brain or spinal cord. This activity is mediated by the enteric …

Enteric neurons and glia arise from the neural crest. The phenotype of crest‐derived cells
was examined as they differentiated into neurons or glia in the mouse small and large …

The hypothesis was tested that developing enteric neurons withdraw from the cell cycle in a
sequence related to their phenotype. The birthdays of immunocytochemically identified …

Immunohistochemical techniques were used to examine the presence and co-localisation of
a range of putative neurotransmitters and other neuronal markers in the myenteric plexus of …

Neuronal diversity in the adult enteric nervous system (ENS)• Developmental appearance
and birthdating of enteric neuron subtypes and glial cells‐Developmental appearance of …

The colonization of the rodent gastrointestinal tract by enteric neuron precursors is
controversial due to the lack of specific cellular markers at early stages. The transcription …
