Anatomical and functional maturation of the mid-gestation human enteric nervous system
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.

Application of optogenetics in the study of gastrointestinal motility: A mini review
Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences, 2023 Disorders of gastrointestinal (GI) motility are associated with various symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and constipation. However, the underlying causes of impaired GI motility remain unclear, which has led to variation in the efficacy of therapies to

Gastric motility disorders and the role of electrogastrography [PDF]
Liječnički vjesnik, 2022 Abnormal gastric motility occurs in many pediatric gastrointestinal organic diseases but also functional disorders. Gastrointestinal motility results from complex interaction od muscles, myenteric plexus, peripheral nervous system, and brain.

Relaxin and gastrointestinal motility
Italian Journal of Anatomy and Embryology, 2014 Relaxin is involved in a variety of functions. Among them, relaxin influences gastrointestinal motility in mice mainly regulating the biosynthesis of nitric oxide, considered as the main substance causing smooth muscle relaxations. Relaxin is able to regulate the different nitric oxide synthase expression depending on the gut region considered. Relaxin

Exogenous Hydrogen Sulfide Within the Nucleus Ambiguus Inhibits Gastrointestinal Motility in Rats
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a neuromodulator in the central nervous system. However, the physiological role of H2S in the nucleus ambiguus (NA) has rarely been reported. This research aimed to elucidate the role of H2S in the regulation of gastrointestinal
