The Functional Rating Scale Taskforce for pre-Huntington Disease (FuRST-pHD) is a multinational, multidisciplinary initiative with the goal of developing a data-driven, comprehensive, psychometrically sound, rating scale for assessing symptoms and functional ability in prodromal and early Huntington disease (HD) gene expansion carriers.
Both parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system control digestion by contacting the enteric nervous system in the wall of the digestive tract. The parasympathetic division typically stimulates digestion while the sympathetic division typically inhibits it.
Dual Innervation. There are two branches or divisions of the autonomic nervous system (ANS): the sympathetic and parasympathetic. Both branches innervate most organs in an arrangement called dual innervation. The parasympathetic division is most active during rest and stimulates digestive activities.
