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 …

The enteric nervous system (ENS) is a nerve network composed of neurons and glial cells
that regulates the motor and secretory functions of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. There is …

Background The microbiome is essential for normal myenteric intrinsic primary afferent
neuron (IPAN) excitability. These neurons control gut motility and modulate gut–brain …

Neuroplastic changes in the enteric nervous system (ENS) may be observed in
physiological states, such as development and aging, or occur as a consequence of different …

The intestinal epithelial barrier is the largest exchange surface between the body and the
external environment. Its functions are regulated by luminal, and also internal, components …

This review, which is presented in two parts, summarizes and synthesizes current views on
the genetic, molecular, and cell biological underpinnings of the early embryonic phases of …

Mast cells that are in close proximity to autonomic and enteric nerves release several
mediators that cause neuronal hyperexcitability. This study examined whether mast cell …

Several studies have been carried out in the last 30 years in the attempt to clarify the
possible role of glutamate as a neurotransmitter/neuromodulator in the gastrointestinal tract …

We report on the first correlative study of the electrophysiological properties, shapes, and
projections of enteric neurons in the mouse. Neurons in the myenteric plexus of the mouse …
