Neuro-Gastroenterology

Neuro-gastroenterology is the study of the brain, the intestine, and their interactions with reference to the comprehension and control of gastrointestinal motility and functional gastrointestinal disorders. Motility issues are the second category of gastrointestinal condition that neurogastroenterologists research. The four organs that motility issues affect are the oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. In clinical readings in neurogastroenterology, prevalent motility disorders such gastroesophageal reflux disease—where rising stomach acid passes through the lower esophageal sphincter and damages the esophageal mucosa—receive the majority of attention.
