Background: The enteric nervous system plays a key role in the coordination of gastrointestinal motility together with sympathetic, parasympathetic, and extrinsic sensory pathways. In some cases, abnormalities in neural activity in these pathways contribute to disorders of gut motility. Where this is associated with damage or death of enteric neurons, usually detected by microscopy, this is considered a gut neuropathy.
Purpose: This review summarizes recent advances in the identification of neuropathies in a range of gastrointestinal motility disorders.

"Dual Perspectives" integrates multiple MRI scans, creating a nuanced synthesis of grey matter and diffusion-based regional connections. This rendering holds particular significance in the realm of Alzheimer's and dementia research by offering a comprehensive examination of data crucial for understanding these complex neurodegenerative conditions. The inclusion of grey matter provides a detailed insight into the structural composition of the brain.

Inositol polyphosphate-5-phosphatase E (INPP5E) is a 5-phosphatase critically involved in diverse physiological processes, including embryonic development, neurological function, immune regulation, hemopoietic cell dynamics, and macrophage proliferation, differentiation, and phagocytosis. Mutations in cause Joubert and Meckel-Gruber syndromes in humans; these are characterized by brain malformations, microphthalmia, situs inversus, skeletal abnormalities, and polydactyly. Recent studies have demonstrated the key role of INPP5E in governing intracellular processes like endocytosis, exocytosis, vesicular trafficking, and membrane dynamics.

Achalasia cardia is a primary motility disorder of the esophagus marked by the absence of peristalsis and the failure of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) to relax during swallowing. The preferred surgical approach is laparoscopic Heller's cardiomyotomy with Dor's fundoplication. Given the significant risks of mucosal perforation and the possibility of incomplete myotomy, which can lead to symptom recurrence, it is essential to ensure both the completeness of the myotomy and the preservation of the mucosal integrity.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks as the third most prevalent cancer globally and is the second leading cause of cancer mortality. FAM49B, a member of the FAM49 gene family, is a recently identified, evolutionarily conserved gene. Emerging studies indicate that FAM49B plays a role in various cancers, though its specific mechanism in CRC remains largely unexplored.
