The enteric nervous system.
T HE enteric nervous system is a collection of neu-rons in the gastrointestinal tract 1 that constitutes the " brain of the gut " and can function independently of the central nervous system. 2 This system controls the motility, 3,4 exocrine and endocrine secretions, 5 and microcirculation 6 of the gastrointestinal tract; it is also involved in regulating immune and inflammatory processes. 7 In...
متن کاملIn Situ Ca2+ Imaging of the Enteric Nervous System
Reflex behaviors of the intestine are controlled by the enteric nervous system (ENS). The ENS is an integrative network of neurons and glia in two ganglionated plexuses housed in the gut wall. Enteric neurons and enteric glia are the only cell types within the enteric ganglia. The activity of enteric neurons and glia is responsible for coordinating intestinal functions. This protocol describes ...

متن کاملImaging neuron-glia interactions in the enteric nervous system
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 from the central nervous system. Enteric glial cells share several features with astrocytes and are closely associated with enteric neurons and their processes both within enteric ganglia, and along interconnecti...
متن کاملThe human enteric nervous system.
Decades of work in animal models have demonstrated that the enteric nervous system (ENS) plays a key role in controlling gut functions. Recent advances made it possible to extend such studies to the ENS of man in health and even in disease. Such studies have already provided new insights into the pathophysiology of inflammatory and possibly functional bowel diseases. Studies on human ENS reveal...
