The Gut-Brain-Spine Axis and Mental Health The bidirectional communication network between our central nervous system and enteric nervous system (often called our "second brain") occurs through ...

The sympathetic, parasympathetic, and enteric nervous system work together to balance out your body’s functions.

Heuckeroth, a leading expert in the enteric nervous system whom Cooper fondly calls his "co-pilot" in research, added that damage to the enteric nervous system can profoundly impair bowel function ...

Your enteric system sometimes works in response to communications from your sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. However, it’s also capable of working all by itself.

The sympathetic nervous system controls the body's flight or fight mechanism. Learn about its vital functions, & how it regulates bodily processes.

According to well-established practice, researchers studying the enteric nervous system often use calcium channel inhibitors, which block the natural contractions of the intestine and thus facilitate ...

The enteric nervous system (ENS) regulates proper immune response, as well as enzyme and electrolyte secretion, within the jejunum.

Abstract A targeted CRISPR-Cas9 mediated F0 screen identifies genes involved in establishment of the enteric nervous system The vertebrate enteric nervous system (ENS) is a crucial network of enteric ...

That the enteric nervous system evolved to function independently from the brain causes some researchers to argue that the so-called mini-brain came first — Nick Spencer, a professor at Flinders ...

A “second brain” of nervous system cells, including glia (stained green in this cross section of a mouse esophagus), coordinates the movement and digestion of food as it moves through your body.
