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 ...

Excitotoxicity in the Enteric Nervous System [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 1997 Glutamate, the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the CNS, is also an excitatory neurotransmitter in the enteric nervous system (ENS). We tested the hypothesis that excessive exposure to glutamate, or related agonists, produces neurotoxicity in enteric neurons.

Developmental Biology, 2012 The enteric nervous system (ENS), the intrinsic innervation of the gastrointestinal tract, consists of numerous types of neurons, and glial cells, that are distributed in two intramuscular plexuses that extend along the entire length of the gut and control co-ordinated smooth muscle contractile activity and other gut functions.

Enteric Nervous System: a Review
, 2015 Enteric nervous system directs and regulates the breakdown, absorption and elimination of food in our digestive system. However, alongside its digestive functions, enteric nervous system has also gained importance because of the discovery of its bidirectional link with intestinal flora, which has recently started to be considered as a separate organ in

Imaging neuron-glia interactions in the enteric nervous system [PDF]
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.

A functional network of highly pure enteric neurons in a dish
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 The enteric nervous system (ENS) is the intrinsic nervous system that innervates the entire digestive tract and regulates major digestive functions. Recent evidence has shown that functions of the ENS critically rely on enteric neuronal connectivity ...

Tau expression and phosphorylation in enteroendocrine cells
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 Background and objectiveThere is mounting evidence to suggest that the gut-brain axis is involved in the development of Parkinson’s disease (PD). In this regard, the enteroendocrine cells (EEC), which faces the gut lumen and are connected with both ...
