Abstract:
An important feature of the enteric nervous system (ENS) is its capability to respond to mechanical stimulation which, as currently suggested for the guinea-pig ileum, is encoded by specialized intrinsic primary afferent neurons (IPANs). We used von Frey hairs or intraganglionic volume injections to mimic ganglion deformation as observed in freely contracting preparations. Using fast voltage-sensitive dye imaging we identified rapidly adapting mechanosensitive enteric neurons (RAMEN, 25% of all...     »
