Fig. 1.

Example micrographs of neuregulin 1 (NRG 1)-positive neurons in the duodenal myenteric plexus (I), jejunal outer submucous plexus (II) and ileal inner submucous plexus (III). Arrows – neurons immunoreactive to both the anti–protein gene product (PGP) 9.5 and anti-NRG 1 antibodies; scale bar – 20 μm
