High-resolution duodeno-jejunal manometry revealed a previously unrecognized transition point and associated motor pattern extending into the jejunum, consistent with the duodenal brake previously identified fluoroscopically. Timing suggests DJC activity is driven by chyme stimulating duodenal mucosal chemosensors. These findings indicate that the duodenum and proximal jejunum consists of two major functional motor regions.
