Abstract

In this issue of Neuron, Dong et al.1 describe neural pathways involved in electroacupuncture (EA) stimulation of gastric motility in mice. Their findings improve treatments for functional dyspepsia patients. Recent breakthroughs in the field enable emerging bioelectronic neuromodulation therapies for gastrointestinal disorders.
