Fundamental Biology Overturned: New Discovery Challenges Long-Held Views on “The Second Brain”
The enteric nervous system (ENS), often called the second brain, plays a crucial role in digestion, immunity, and communication with the brain. Researchers have discovered that ENS development continues after birth and includes neurons derived from mesoderm, challenging long-held scientific beliefs and opening avenues for potential new treatments for aging and gastrointestinal diseases.

Fundamental Biology Overturned: New Discovery Challenges Long-Held Views on “The Second Brain”

Discoveries may pave the way for improved therapies for gastrointestinal issues. Following your gut. Losing your appetite. A gutsy move. Though we often consider the gut as merely a digestive tool, these common expressions reflect the central role the gut plays in a much wider range of essential fu
