title: ENS Development Research Since 1983: Great Strides but Many Remaining Challenges.
abstract: The first enteric nervous system (ENS) conference, organized by Marcello Costa and John Furness, was held in Adelaide, Australia in 1983. In this article, we review what was known about the development of the ENS in 1983 and then summarize some of the major advances in the field since 1983.
