Dual origin of enteric neurons in vagal Schwann cell precursors and the sympathetic neural crest [Developmental Biology]

Most of the enteric nervous system derives from the "vagal" neural crest, lying at the level of somites 1–7, which invades the digestive tract rostro-caudally from the foregut to the hindgut. Little is known about the initial phase of this colonization, which brings enteric precursors into the foregut. Here we...
