Unperceived tone reflexes may mask motility changes clinically; leaves open dissociable pathways for targeted GI research.
Does intestinal distension induce reflex changes in intestinal tone and how does it relate to perception in healthy volunteers?
Intestinal tone reflexes and perception in response to intestinal distension appear to be mediated by specific, dissociable mechanisms.
Rouillon et al. (1991) studied this question.
