mental_floss, Jordan Rosenfeld: Gut feelings get all the press, but your gut may be more of a thinker than you knew. Scientists now think of it as your second brain. While it won’t necessarily help you study for an exam or get a promotion, your gut can influence the chemistry of your mood, emotions, immune system, and long-term health. Research even suggests the gut can “learn” new tricks through conditioning. These powerful connections are part an emerging field of science called neurogastroenterology designed to study the gut-brain link. Here are 10 facts you may not know about your smart gut.
