Mapping the “brain in the gut” may provide clues to gastrointestinal disorders Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have identified three types of nerve cells connected to the intestinal villi, suggesting that previously unknown neural networks regulate fluid balance in the gut....

Researchers have identified 3 types of nerve cells connected to the intestinal villi, suggesting that previously unknown neural networks regulate fluid balance in the gut. The study, published in @natneuro.nature.com, could lead to a better understanding of #IBS and #IBD 🧪 news.ki.se/mapping-the-...

The transcriptomes, connections and development of submucosal neuron classes in the mouse small intestine Nature Neuroscience - The neuronal composition of the intestinal submucosal plexus is incompletely understood. Here Li et al. define their neuron classes, connectome and stepwise acquisition of...

Check out our new study on the innermost nervous system of the body—the submucosal plexus. We define three neuronal classes, map their connectivity, and uncover their stepwise development via phenotypic switching. Congrats to all authors! #NatureNeuroscience #EntericNervousSystem rdcu.be/eoqXz
