Background and Aims Gut functions including motility, secretion, and blood flow are largely
controlled by the enteric nervous system. Characterizing the different classes of enteric …

Background Access to tissue, difficulties with dissection, and poor visibility of enteric ganglia
have hampered electrophysiological recordings of human enteric neurons. Here, we report …

Background The enteric nervous system contains multiple classes of neurons,
distinguishable by morphology, immunohistochemical markers, and projections; however …

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

To demonstrate the normal topography and structure of the enteric nervous system (ENS) in
the human colon, the colonic wall of patients (n= 10, mean age 66.3 years), who underwent …

The consequence of presence versus absence of mucosal neurons is not consistently
assessed. Here, we addressed two questions. First, based on resected gut specimens of 65 …

Background It remains unclear whether regional variation exists in the human enteric
nervous system (ENS) ie, whether intrinsic innervation varies along the gut. Recent …

Distinguishing and characterising the different classes of neurons that make up a neural
circuit has been a long-term goal for many neuroscientists. The enteric nervous system is a …

The enteric nervous system, a major subdivision of the autonomic nervous system, is known
for its neurochemical heterogeneity and complexity. The myenteric plexus, one of its two …

Data on the axonal projections of enteric neurones in the human intestine are still scarce.
The present study aimed to identify the morphology and neurochemical coding of enteric …
