Lecture Title: "Understanding glia in the brain inside your gut"
Abstract: The enteric nervous system is a complex network of neurons and glia within the gastrointestinal tract that coordinates gut physiology. We have developed new technologies to define the diversity of glial cells in the gut, identifying functionally specialized subtypes that contribute to distinct aspects of gut development and physiology in health and across neurodiversity.
