The man with two brains

Dr Michael Gershon, has proved we all have two brains; this is because your gut (ie your greater & lesser intestine and colon) has its own Enteric Nervous System (or ENT) and is the only part of the body that can operate perfectly if all connection is cut from the upper brain. It essentially is a brain with one purpose, to keep you fed with all the necessary nutrients you need and to dispose of the rest in a timely manner.
