Innervation of the Gastrointestinal Tract

Autonomic neuronal circuitry controls many of the multiple functions of the gut, making it an appealing subject for the study of neuroscientists. Presenting an in-depth review of the state of current knowledge, this book explores the innervation of the gut by the enteric nervous system and its interface with the extrinsic innervation from a number of different perspectives. Contributions from an international panel provide an insightful synthesis of data and a comprehensive and accessible account of the subject. The investigations summarized in this volume reveal the large repertoire of neural mechanisms present in the digestive tract.Brookes, Simon is the author of 'Innervation of the Gastrointestinal Tract' with ISBN 9780415283779 and ISBN 0415283779.
