This study identifies distinct brainstem circuits activated by splanchnic and pelvic spinal afferent pathways from the mouse colorectum, showing their differential roles in sensory processing and visceromotor responses.

The paper identifies Cdh6 as a marker for a novel class of sensory neurons in the mouse colon that regulate colonic motility through specific electrophysiological properties and functional responses.
