Development of Neural Activity in the Enteric Nervous System: Similarities and Differences to Other Parts of the Nervous System.

All the neurons and glia of the enteric nervous system (ENS) arise from neural crest-derived cells that migrate into the gastrointestinal (GI) tract during development (Yntema and Hammond 1954; Le Douarin and Teillet 1973). Most of the ENS originates from vagal neural crest cells (NCCs), which arise from the caudal hindbrain region of the neural tube, adjacent to somites 1-7. In the developing mouse, vagal NCCs migrate into the developing oesophagus and stomach at embryonic day (E)9.5, enter the small intestine at E10.5, and colonise the developing GI tract in a rostral-to-caudal wave, reaching the anal end of the colon at E14.5 (Serbedzija et al. 1991; Kapur et al. 1992; Anderson et al. 2006). Recent evidence indicates that there is also trans-mesenteric migration of vagal NCCs, where some NCCs leave the small intestine and migrate directly across the mesentery into the colon (Nishiyama et al. 2012). Sacral NCCs also contribute to a small population of neurons and glia in the colon (Burns and Le Douarin 1998; Wang et al. 2011).
