Advances in the Innervation of the Gastrointestinal Tract is a comprehensive treatment of current concepts related to research on the neurobiology of the digestive system. Established knowledge, leading-edge areas of investigation and indications of future directions, are reviewed by prominent authorities in the specialized areas of the field. Areas covered include ontogeny of the enteric nervous system, molecular biology of receptor and neurotransmitter expression, neurophysiology of the enteric nervous system and gastrointestinal centers in the brain stem, as well as normal and pathophysiological aspects of nervous control at the integrated systems level.
