The enteric nervous system contains neurons that are able to regulate and control
gastrointestinal functions at a local level independently from the central nervous
system. The myenteric plexus is sandwiched between the longitudinal and circular muscle
layer and therefore strategically well-suited to encode transient or sustained muscle
contraction or relaxation that occur during tonic or phasic motor activity. We aimed
to study the mechanosensitive properties of myenteric neurons by applying stimuli
that mimic their physiological deformation during musle activity.
