ironymaiden: (neutron star)
i caught part of a radio show this morning talking about the "enteric brain". new concept for me, although apparently the study that spurred interest in it is a good dozen years old.

the guy on the radio was a bit into woo, suggesting that "gut feelings" and "intuition" come from this brain in your digestive system and that it's making choices for you and circumventing the brain in your head. still looking into how plausible that is, but it's begging for someone to write a story about it.
