BookDOI
The enteric nervous system
TL;DR: The structural similarities and functional differences between regions may have an evolutionary basis and the physiological control of enteric neurons and development of function is studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurochemical classification of myenteric neurons in the guinea-pig ileum
Marcello Costa,Simon J. H. Brookes,P.A. Steele,Ian L. Gibbins,Elizabeth Burcher,C. J. Kandiah +5 more
TL;DR: A strategy has been developed to identify and quantify the different neurochemical populations of myenteric neurons in the guinea-pig ileum using double-labelling fluorescence immunohistochemistry of whole-mount preparations, and a classification scheme, consistent with previous studies, is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anatomy and physiology of the enteric nervous system.
TL;DR: The enteric nervous system (ENS) is a quasi autonomous part of the nervous system and includes a number of neural circuits that control motor functions, local blood flow, mucosal transport and secretions, and modulates immune and endocrine functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Classes of enteric nerve cells in the guinea-pig small intestine.
TL;DR: It is now possible to take an individual nerve cell and use a few carefully chosen criteria to assign it to a functional class, providing a firm anatomical foundation for the systematic analysis of how the enteric nervous system normally functions and how it goes wrong in various clinically important disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Projections and chemical coding of neurons with immunoreactivity for nitric oxide synthase in the guinea-pig small intestine
Marcello Costa,John B. Furness,S. Pompolo,Simon J. H. Brookes,Joel C. Bornstein,David S. Bredt,Solomon H. Snyder +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that nitric oxide synthase is located in a sub-population of enteric neurons, amongst which are inhibitory motor neurons that supply the circular muscle layer.
