The enteric nervous system (ENS) is comprised of a network of neurons and glial cells that
are responsible for coordinating many aspects of gastrointestinal (GI) function. These cells …

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is now among the most commonly diagnosed
chronic psychological dysfunctions of childhood. By varying estimates, it has increased by …

The enteric nervous system controls a variety of gastrointestinal functions including intestinal
motility. The minimal neuronal circuit necessary to direct peristalsis is well-characterized but …

The enteric nervous system (ENS) constitutes the largest part of the peripheral nervous
system. In recent years, ENS development and its neurogenetic capacity in homeostasis and …

The enteric nervous system (ENS) consists of neurons and glial cells that differentiate from
neural crest progenitors. During embryogenesis, development of the ENS is controlled by …

During embryonic development, the gut is innervated by intrinsic (enteric) and extrinsic
nerves. Focusing on mammalian ENS development, in this Review we highlight how …

Adolescence is a critical period of development. It is very likely that there is significant
maturation of the enteric nervous system (ENS) of the gut during this stage of life, especially …

Co-ordinated gastrointestinal function is the result of integrated communication between the
enteric nervous system (ENS) and “effector” cells in the gastrointestinal tract. Unlike smooth …

The enteric nervous system (ENS) is a network of neurons and glia within the wall of the
gastrointestinal tract that is able to control many aspects of digestive function independently …

There are many different types of enteric neurons. Previous studies have identified the time
at which some enteric neuron subtypes are born (exit the cell cycle) in the mouse, but the …
