title: Small intestine motility.
abstract: During the period of review, work has been ongoing to refine existing techniques and to better define normal patterns of small intestinal motility. Researchers continue to learn more about the established neurohumoral control mechanisms of motility, as well as the effects and potential importance of newly discovered neuropeptides and receptors. There has also been continued interest in alterations in motility in various disease states and in the effects on motility of a number of pharmacologic agents.
