Hōʻike ka noiʻi hou i ke ʻano o ka ʻōnaehana nerve i loko o ka ʻōpū, ka enteric nervous system (ENS), e hoʻopuka i ka propulsion ma ka ʻōpū, e hōʻike ana i ke ʻano like me ka ʻano o nā ʻupena neural ʻē aʻe i ka lolo a me ke kuamoʻo.

ʻO ka noiʻi i alakaʻi ʻia e Professor Nick Spencer o ke Kulanui o Flinders e koi ana ʻo ka ENS i loko o ka ʻōpū ʻo ia ka "lolo mua" a ua ulu ʻo ia i loko o ka lolo kanaka ma mua o ka lolo e like me kā mākou i ʻike ai. Hōʻike nā ʻike hou i nā ʻike hou koʻikoʻi e pili ana i ke ʻano o nā kaukani neurons i ka ENS e kamaʻilio me kekahi i kekahi e hoʻoneʻe i ka ʻiʻo o ka ʻiʻo a paʻi i nā mea i loko. I kēia manawa, he pilikia nui ʻole kēia.

I loko o ka pepa hou Communication Biology (Nature), ua ʻōlelo ʻo Polofesa Nick Spencer o ke Kulanui o Flinders, ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o nā ʻike hou loa ma mua o ka mea i manaʻo ʻia, a ua hoʻoneʻe ʻia mai ka wai ma hope o ia, inā ʻaʻohe ʻano ʻino. Ua hoʻomohala ʻia nā ʻōnaehana ʻē aʻe i nā ʻōnaehana like ʻole; e like me nā moku lymphatic, ureters a i ʻole nā ​​veins portal.

Ua hoʻopuka ʻo Polofesa Nick Spencer o Flinders University i kahi noiʻi hou e pili ana i ka Communications Biology e wehewehe i ke ʻano o ka ʻōnaehana nerve i loko o ka ʻōpū, ʻo ia hoʻi, pehea e holomua ai ka enteric nerve system (ENS) ma ka ʻōpū, a hoʻokūpaʻa e pili ana i ka Pehea e like ai nā nā ʻano o nā ʻupena neural ʻē aʻe i loko o ka lolo a me ke kuamoʻo.

Ke koi nei kēia noiʻi ʻana ʻo ka ENS i loko o ka ʻōpū ʻo ia ka "lolo mua", i ulu ʻia ma mua o ka ulu ʻana o ka lolo kanaka. Hōʻike kēia mau ʻike hou i ka ʻike hou koʻikoʻi e pili ana i ke ʻano o ke kamaʻilio ʻana o nā kaukani neurons i loko o ka ʻōnaehana nerve kekahi i kekahi, e hoʻoneʻe ana i ka ʻiʻo o ka ʻiʻo a hoʻokau i ka ʻike.
