The third Joint International Neurogastroenterology and Motility Meeting of the American Neurogastroenterology and Motility Society, the Functional Brain-Gut Research Group, the European Society of Neurogastroenterology and Motility, and the International Group for the Study of Neurogastroenterology and Motility was held August 26-29, 2010 in Boston, Massachusetts.

The speakers discussed cutting-edge research which focused on disease mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders involving gastrointestinal neuromuscular function, sensation, psychosocial aspects, brain-gut interactions, and ingestive behavior and its control and treatment. The conference provided a forum for the presentation, discussion and debate of translational and clinical research in the area of neurogastroenterology and motility, and functional gastrointestinal disorders so that physicians and health care professionals diagnosing and managing patients in this area were able to draw on the latest evidence-based methods for promoting effective patient outcomes.
