Neural connections between antrum and duodenum.
Postprandial coordination of antroduodenal motility partly takes place via intrinsic mural pathways. The nature and origin of these nerve fibers have not yet been clarified. In this investigation using fluorochromic substances injected into the antrum and duodenum it was demonstrated that common central neurons for the antroduodenal area exist in the vagal nucleus.
