The phrase “trust your gut” is more than a cliché, as the brain and digestive system constantly exchange information. However, science has not establ ...

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 ...

Scientists have made a breakthrough in understanding how the enteric nervous system forms, which could pave the way for new treatments for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's. Scientists ...

Researchers at Michigan State University have made a surprising discovery about the human gut's enteric nervous system that itself is filled with surprising facts. For starters, there's the fact that ...

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 ...

The enteric nervous system that regulates our gut is often called the body’s “second brain.” Although it cannot solve problems like the brain, this extensive network uses the same chemicals and cells ...

New research explains how the nervous system in the gut, known as the enteric nervous system (ENS) causes propulsion along the gut, highlighting how similar it behaves to other neural networks in the ...

Translucent zebrafish embryos have been used to create a single-cell atlas of the cells that lead to the development of the enteric nervous system: enhancing our ability to tackle debilitating and ...

A collaborative team led by Professor Jie Zhou at Tianjin Medical University School of Basic Medicine and Professor Qiang Liu at Tianjin Medical University General Hospital published a comprehensive ...

Scientists have made a breakthrough in understanding how the enteric nervous system forms, which could pave the way for new treatments for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's. Researchers ...

Sugars, amino acids, and fatty acids activate distinct subsets of intestinal neurons, revealing how the gut responds to different food components. Six editors and 58 out of 62 advisory editors at an ...
