Migrating motor complex, also known as migrating myoelectric complex, migratory motor complex, migratory myoelectric complex and MMC, is a cyclic, recurring motility pattern that occurs in the stomach and small bowel during fasting; it is interrupted by feeding. A pattern of electrical activity is also observed in the gastrointestinal tract in a regular cycle during this interdigestive period.
