An experimental method to identify neurogenic and myogenic active mechanical states of intestinal motility

An experimental method to identify neurogenic and myogenic active mechanical states of intestinal motility

Excitatory and inhibitory enteric neural input to intestinal muscle acting on ongoing myogenic activity determines the rich repertoire of motor patterns involved in digestive function. The enteric neural activity cannot yet be established during movement of intact intestine in vivo or in vitro. We...
