Mechanisms of electrical activation and conduction in the gastrointestinal system: lessons from cardiac electrophysiology
The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is an electrically excitable organ system containing multiple cell types, which coordinate electrical activity propagating through this tract. Disruption in its normal electrophysiology is observed in a number of GI motility disorders. However, this is not well charac...
