An interesting read…

You are not (just) your brain.

"If you look closely at our nervous system, you’ll see that there are neuronal clusters distributed throughout the body. Human computation is better understood as distributed than centralized.

The gut has 500 million neurons, which is about the same count as a dog’s brain. This is connected to the brain through roughly 30,000 fibers, most of which lead from gut to head."
