New intelligence source — the second brain

Microbiome: The largest microbiota is the intestinal microbiota, with a surface area that, when flattened, is nearly the size of a tennis court. Its enormous population, though infinitely small, amplifies our digestive functions and has a direct impact on our health. Furthermore, its tasks are not limited to simply fermenting or metabolizing food products that our intestinal tract cannot digest.

Nerve cells and tissues in the digestive tract are known as the enteric nervous system, and these are directly connected to the brain and central nervous system. The vagus nerve is an important cranial nerve that connects the brain to the gut as well as other organs.
