The architecture of the enteric nerve networks in the gastrointestinal tract appears to be
more complex in large mammals, including humans, than in small laboratory animals. At …

Gastrointestinal events such as peristalsis and secretion/absorption processes are
influenced by the enteric nervous system, which is capable of acting largely independently …

Intestinofugal afferent neurones (IFANs) are a unique subset of myenteric ganglion
neurones that regulate normal gastrointestinal function. The IFANs relaying …

Recent advances in neurogastroenterology have extended and refined our knowledge on
the roles monoamines play in physiology and pathophysiology of the gastrointestinal tract …

Neuroanatomical tracing techniques, and retrograde labelling in particular, are widely used
tools for the analysis of neuronal pathways in the central and peripheral nervous system …

The enteric nervous system (ENS), localized in the wall of the gastrointestinal tract, regulates
the functions of the intestine using a wide range of neuronally-active substances. One of …

The intramural projections of nerve cells containing serotonin (5-HT), calcitonin gene-related
peptide (CGRP), vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and nitric oxide synthase or reduced …

Background and Aims Viscerofugal neurons (VFNs) have cell bodies in the myenteric plexus
and axons that project to sympathetic prevertebral ganglia. In animals they activate …

The pylorus, an important part of the digestive tract controlling the flow of chyme between the
stomach and the duodenum, is widely innervated by intrinsic and extrinsic nerves. To …

The present study was designed to investigate the expression of biologically active
substances by intramural neurons supplying the stomach in normal (control) pigs and in pigs …
