Sensory nerves and neuropeptides in gastroenterology

Delineates a suggestive scenario in which sensory nerves of the gut, and the multiple messages they carry through the release of neuropeptides, are to be considered a major target in the development of new drugs potentially useful in a number of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Among the 27 papers are discussions of such topics as capsaicin as a tool for studying sensory neuron functions, evolutionary aspects in the peripheral peptidergic signals, and pathophysiological and clinical aspects of visceral pain.
