Microbiota-dependent Early-life Programming of Gastrointestinal Motility

Gastrointestinal microbes modulate peristalsis and stimulate the enteric nervous system (ENS), whose development, as in the central nervous system (CNS), continues into the murine postweaning period.Given that adult CNS function depends on stimuli received during critical periods of postnatal development, we hypothesized that adult ENS function, namely motility, depends on microbial stimuli during similar critical […] The post Microbiota-dependent Early-life Programming of Gastrointestinal Motility appeared first on 32 Bio Sciences .
