1 Introduction The plexuses of Auerbach and Meissner are peculiar to the gut; they extend
from the beginning of the unstriated portion of the oesophagus to the end of the rectum. They …

Loss of myenteric neurons with age is well documented, however little is known about age-
related changes of the sympathetic innervation of the myenteric plexus and gastrointestinal …

Nitrergic myenteric neurons are especially susceptible to the development of neuropathy in
functional gastrointestinal disorders. Investigations of the similarities and dissimilarities in …

The 28-kDa calcium-binding protein (calbindin) is a widely studied neuronal marker in the
enteric nervous system of numerous species. Calbindin has previously been detected in …

The neurochemistry of enteric neurons differs among species of small laboratory rodents
(guinea-pig, mouse, rat). In this study we characterized the phenotype of ileal myenteric …

Recent decades has brought significant advances in our knowledge of the chemical coding
and function of enteric neurons. Calcium ions are important second messenger involved in …

Repeated experiments to localise serotonin in the myenteric plexus of rabbit ileum failed.
After preincubation in serotonin (10− 5 M), an extensive varicose fibre system was detected …

We studied cholinergic circuit elements in the enteric nervous system (ENS) of two distinct
transgenic mouse lines in which fluorescent protein expression was driven by the choline …

Most investigations related to the characterisation of the enteric nervous system (ENS) are
pivoted on the intestine of small rodents, but few studies are available on the ENS of wild or …

This report presents novel results on the effects of serotonin (5‐HT) on longitudinal muscle
contractions in the rabbit ileum and the interactions of serotonin with some neuronal …
