The human second brain, also known as the enteric nervous system (ENS), is a fascinating and complex system that plays a crucial role in our overall health and well-being.
The ENS is a network of over 100 million neurons that reside in the lining of the digestive tract, stretching from the esophagus to the anus. This vast network of neurons is often referred to as the "little brain" or "second brain" because of its ability to function independently of the central nervous system (CNS).
