Imaging the enteric nervous system [PDF]
Frontiers in NeuroanatomyThe enteric nervous system (ENS) has garnered increasing scientific interest due to its pivotal role in digestive processes and its involvement in various gastrointestinal and central nervous system (CNS) disorders, including Crohn’s disease, Parkinson’s

Scholarpedia, 2007 The enteric nervous system (ENS) derives from the neural crest and consists of neurons distributed in two ganglionated plexuses, myenteric and submucosal, located within the walls of the gut. The ENS contains as many neurons as the spinal cord (approximately 80-100 million neurons) and controls intestinal motility and secretion largely independently of

Visualizing enteric nervous system activity through dye-free dynamic full-field optical coherence tomography [PDF]
Communications Biology, 2023 Full-field optical coherence tomography (FFOCT) can be used for the visualization of the myenteric plexus network and individual myenteric ganglia cells in situ, showing that FFOCT is a suitable method to image enteric nervous system activity.

The Aging Enteric Nervous System
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023 The gut and the brain communicate via the nervous system, hormones, microbiota-mediated substances, and the immune system. These intricate interactions have led to the term “gut-brain axis”. Unlike the brain—which is somewhat protected—the gut is exposed to a variety of factors throughout life and, consequently, might be either more vulnerable or ...

Anatomical and functional maturation of the mid-gestation human enteric nervous system [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Immature gastrointestinal motility impedes preterm infant survival. The enteric nervous system controls gastrointestinal motility, yet it is unknown when the human enteric nervous system matures enough to carry out vital functions.

Enteric Nervous System Impairment in Gastroschisis [PDF]
European Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2012 After surgical repair of gastroschisis, most neonates exhibit severe intestinal dysmotility. We hypothesized that impaired development of the enteric nervous system or interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) network contributes to impaired intestinal motility in gastroschisis.

Adult enteric nervous system in health is maintained by a dynamic balance between neuronal apoptosis and neurogenesis [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2017 According to current dogma, there is little or no ongoing neurogenesis in the fully developed adult enteric nervous system. This lack of neurogenesis leaves unanswered the question of how enteric neuronal populations are maintained in adult guts, given ...

Effect of Exercise on Enteric Nervous System and the Dysfunction of Colon in Type 2 Diabetes Rat [PDF]
, 2013 [Objective] Enteric nervous system (ENS), as a local nervous system, is relatively independent to ectogenic innervation of gastrointestinal tract. This study would observe the effect of aerobic exercise and dietary patterns on enteric function in type ...

Mycotoxins and the Enteric Nervous System
Toxins, 2020 Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by various fungal species. They are commonly found in a wide range of agricultural products. Mycotoxins contained in food enter living organisms and may have harmful effects on many internal organs and ...

Imaging neuron-glia interactions in the enteric nervous system
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2013 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.
