Prior infections appear to shield enteric neurons, preventing these key components of the body's 'second brain' from dying off when future pathogens strike.

The research, published in Cell, describes how gut macrophages respond to prior insult by shielding enteric neurons, preventing them from dying off when future pathogens strike.

The enteric nervous system (ENS) is home to hundreds of thousands of individual neurons. Scientists finally know how these neurons "talk" to each other.

Scientists in Australia have published a study with new findings on the human body's "second brain," the bundle of millions of neurons in humans' colons called the enteric nervous system, and how ...

Sitting alongside the neurons in your enteric nervous system are underappreciated glial cells, which play key roles in digestion and disease that scientists are only just starting to understand.
