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.
The autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary functions, such as digestion. This nervous pathway is one example of a function controlled by the autonomic nervous system, which is the part of the nervous system that involuntarily regulates internal body functions.
