Popis: fibers as a percentage of total tissue area (μm2). The nerve volume densities were significantly decreased in the jejunum (23.7 vs. 31.3; p 0.05) and duodenum (30.1 vs. 28.8; p > 0.05). These findings suggest that endogenous microbiota are necessary for the normal patterning of the ENS in the early postnatal period, particularly in the mid to distal small intestine and colon. Further studies are needed to determine whether the mechanisms by which the endogenous microbiota act on the ENS involve a direct effect on neural cells.
