Brief description Not a topic for polite conversation, normal movements of the colon and rectum are essential for good health and a sense of wellbeing. Constipation, diarrhoea, incontinence and pain result from disordered motility. One major control mechanism is the parasympathetic innervation. While we know of its importance, how it works in health and diseases is poorly understood. This project will use state-of-the-art techniques to study this pathway in order to understand its role in health and disease
