The enteric nervous system (ENS) comprises an extensive network of neurons and glia embedded within the gut wall, regulating motility, secretion and blood flow. It operates semi-autonomously yet ...
Wu Tsai Neuro Faculty Scholar Julia Kaltschmidt and MD/Ph.D. candidate Lori Dershowitz propose a novel theory that could transform our understanding of pediatric gastrointestinal (GI) motility ...
The enteric nervous system (ENS) comprises an extensive network of neurons and glia embedded within the gastrointestinal wall that governs motility, secretion and blood flow. In neurodegenerative ...
Researchers have described the neurodegeneration that occurs in the nervous system of the bowel in Batten disease, a rare and fatal genetic condition. In their latest study, a team showed that gene ...
During development of the digestive system, a complex network of nerves forms around it, creating a "second brain"—the enteric nervous system (ENS)—which controls the movement of food and waste ...
Researchers find early Alzheimer's changes in the gut, opening a surprising path toward earlier detection and treatment.

Researchers at Rice University have revealed a previously unknown function of opioid receptors in the development of the enteric nervous system (ENS), often referred to as the "brain in the gut." This ...
The enteric nervous system (ENS) is a vast network of nerves built into the walls of the intestine. While it is well known for its role in regulating digestion and the movement of food through the ...
