Regions of the brain activated in bladder filling vs rectal distention in healthy adults: A meta‐analysis of neuroimaging studies

Adults with pelvic floor disorders commonly present with overlapping bladder and bowel symptoms; however, the relationship between urinary and defecatory dysfunction is not well understood. Our aim was to compare and determine if overlapping brain regions are activated during bladder filling and rectal distention in healthy adults.
