Current treatment of lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) related to the urethra focuses on its anatomic position (as the target for slings and other methods of suspension within the pelvis), its integrated role with the pelvic floor (as the target of physical therapy), and its tissue integrity (as the target for hormonal replacement and medications). But the urethra is not a passive conduit for urine to pass out of the bladder: it is a dynamic structure working in concert with the bladder to achieve urine storage and release. The function of the urethra and its sphincters is to maintain continence during bladder filling and appropriately allow unobstructed passage of urine during voiding. These functions are regulated by neural circuits of the brain, spinal cord, ganglia and nerves. Improving therapy for LUTD targeting the urethra will require growth of knowledge of the neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of circuits regulating the urethra and bladder, and integration of this knowledge with characterization of muscle biomechanics and fluid dynamics.To evaluate existing knowledge on the urethra and stimulate new approaches to fill knowledge gaps, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) sponsored a virtual seminar series entitled “Female Urethral Function and Failure: Advancing Basic and Translational Research for Genitourinary Conditions”(October 2020). One area of discussion was the neural control of the urethra--both what is known, and what areas need more expansion, in order to advance our understanding of the field. Building on this initiative and as a result of the group effort of the meeting, here we propose several approaches that have the potential to fill major knowledge gaps in our understanding of neural contributors to urethra function and dysfunction. Our goal here is not to provide
