Figure 1. The enteric nervous system. The enteric nervous system (ENS) is formed by the myenteric plexus and submucosal plexus. It receives inputs from both the sympathetic and parasympathetic/vagal ...

A leading gut-health researcher explains how your gastrointestinal microbiome communicates with your brain. “There’s a connection from the enteric nervous system in the gut to the central ...

The enteric nervous system (ENS) is the intrinsic nervous system of the gut. It consists of an extensive network of neurons that lines the walls of the gastrointestinal tract.

Gut microbiota generally exerts their effects on the brain not only via the nervous system (i.e. through the neuroanatomical pathway of the gut-brain axis), but also through the immune system ...

How the gut microbiota communicates with the nervous system is an active area of research, with studies investigating both the central nervous system and the enteric nervous system, our so-called ...

Long range synchronization within the enteric nervous system underlies propulsion along the large intestine in mice. Communications Biology, 2021; 4 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s42003-021-02485-4 ...

Key points The gut is home to 70-80% of the body's immune cells. The enteric nervous system in the gut contains more than 100 million neurons.
