🧠 The Spine Has Its Own “Second Brain”

Hidden inside your spinal cord is a vast network of neurons called the enteric nervous system — often called the “second brain.”

It can process information and coordinate reflexes without input from your actual brain. That’s why doctors can test spinal reflexes (like a knee-jerk reaction) even in people who are unconscious — your spine is capable of independent decision-making on a biological level.
