Dopamine is found in both the central and enteric nervous systems.
“Further, the neurotransmitter dopamine is also found in both the central and enteric nervous systems (Gershon, 2018;Li et al., 2006).”
From The Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis (2019) · cites this paper as Gershon, 2018
The main text reports gastric dopaminergic neurons, supporting dopamine’s presence in the enteric nervous system. Its discussion of the CNS does not say that dopamine is found there, so this source supports only the enteric part of the claim. No page number is available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.87)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe ENS is believed to be more analogous to the CNS than other networks within the peripheral nervous system.
“Due to the organization and structure of the number, morphology, and neurochemical nature of the ENS networks within the ANS, it is believed to be more analogous to the CNS than other networks within the peripheral nervous system (Gershon, 2018;Timmermans et al., 1997;Wood, 2008Wood, , 2016)).”
From The Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis (2019) · cites this paper as Gershon, 2018
The section “Development of the Enteric Nervous System: A Genetic Guide to the Perplexed” (page not provided) discusses ENS independence from CNS input and compares aspects of ENS and CNS development. It does not say that the ENS is more analogous to the CNS than other peripheral nervous system networks. Searches for that comparison and for similarities in neuronal organization and neurochemistry found no passage addressing it. (LLM, conf=0.72)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
