Image Description
Professor Furness is distinguished for his elucidation of the different neuronal types that control the gastro-intestinal tract. He has introduced elegant immunohistochemical techniques which have allowed for the chemical coding of virtually all the enteric neurons. In addition, he is a leading authority on the functional role of these neurons through his many contributions to the physiology of motor control in both smooth muscle as well as in mucosal secretion.
