Abstract: 

In this article, we review the neurophysiology of the bladder and the lower urinary tract function and discuss logical concepts for the development of novel drug therapy for patients with lower urinary tract dysfunction.

Keywords: 
bladder; lower urinary tract function; nervous system.
