The enteric nervous system (ENS) is the largest division of the peripheral nervous system
and closely resembles components and functions of the central nervous system. Although …

The gastrointestinal tract contains its own set of intrinsic neuroglial circuits—the enteric
nervous system (ENS)—which detects and responds to diverse signals from the …

The enteric nervous system (ENS) of the gastrointestinal tract controls many diverse
functions, including motility and epithelial permeability. Perturbations in ENS development …

Autonomous regulation of the intestine requires the combined activity of functionally distinct
neurons of the enteric nervous system (ENS). However, the variety of enteric neuron types …

The enteric nervous system (ENS) is derived from both the vagal and sacral component of
the neural crest (NC). Here, we present the derivation of sacral ENS precursors from human …

Correct development and maturation of the enteric nervous system (ENS) is critical for
survival. At birth, the ENS is immature and requires considerable refinement to exert its …

Background and Aims Bowel function requires coordinated activity of diverse enteric neuron
subtypes. Our aim was to define gene expression in these neuron subtypes to facilitate …

The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is innervated by intrinsic enteric neurons and by extrinsic
efferent and afferent nerves. The enteric (intrinsic) nervous system (ENS) in most regions of …

The enteric nervous system (ENS) is essential for digestive function and gut homeostasis.
Here we show that the amorphous neuroglia networks of the mouse ENS are composed of …

The enteric nervous system (ENS) is sometimes called the “second brain” because of the
diversity of neuronal cell types and complex, integrated circuits that permit the ENS to …
