Development of enteric neuron diversity

Abstract

Neuronal diversity in the adult enteric nervous system (ENS) Developmental appearance and birthdating of enteric neuron subtypes and glial cells Developmental appearance of pan-neuronal markers and enteric neuron subtypes Time of exit from cell cycle of different neuron types Morphological development of enteric neurons Axon guidance in the developing ENS Development of connectivity Mechanisms controlling enteric neuronal differentiation and the generation of neuron diversity Transcriptional control of enteric neuronal differentiation and the generation of neuron diversity Role of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family members in enteric neuronal differentiation and the ge..
