He pioneered many methods to investigate the organization and functions of the so-called 'little brain in the gut', the Enteric Nervous System. This monograph summarizes his extensive work in collaboration with close to 200 colleagues from different countries. 606 $aNeurosciences$7Generated by AI 606 $aGastrointestinal system$7Generated by AI 615 0$aNeurosciences. 615 0$aGastrointestinal system. 700 $aCosta$b Marcello$0511950 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910915793803321 996 $aAdventures in Gut Neuroscience$94303351 997 $aUNINA
