Types of neurons in the enteric nervous system
JB Furness - Journal of the autonomic nervous system, 2000 - Elsevier
This paper, written for the symposium in honour of more than 40 years' contribution to
autonomic research by Professor Geoffrey Burnstock, highlights the progress made in
understanding the organisation of the enteric nervous system over this time. Forty years ago,
the prevailing view was that the neurons within the gut wall were post-ganglionic neurons of
parasympathetic pathways. This view was replaced as evidence accrued that the neurons
are part of the enteric nervous system and are involved in reflex and integrative activities that …
