Long interneurons, which do not innervate muscularis externa, are likely to coordinate neural activity over distances of many centimeters along the colon. Characterizing their neurochemical coding provides a basis for understanding their roles, investigating their connectivity, and building a comprehensive account of human colonic enteric neurons.
