Abstract
Our results show that 5-HT can be released dynamically during CMMCs. However, the intrinsic pacemaker and pattern generator underlying CMMC generation lies within the myenteric plexus and/or muscularis externa and does not require any release of 5-HT from enterochromaffin cells. Endogenous release of 5-HT from enterochromaffin cells plays a modulatory role, not an essential role, in CMMC generation.
