The Three “Brains Theory"

“Brain is the most complex living structure known in the universe ... The brain is what makes us human...... super human, etc- Society of Neuroscience

A brain is not a singular body part. It can be any part of the body capable of learning. The body has three brains:

The head brain The heart brain The gut brain

1. The Brain in Your Head. This is what you automatically think of when you hear the word, “brain.” Your head brain has 85 billion neurons, the cells that process and transmit information. It’s where synapses, electrical impulses, and hormones talk to each other, which is what allows for consciousness and awareness. Most importantly, it’s what gives you the ability to identify patterns and make sense of the world.

2.The Brain in Your Heart. your heart has a brain, too. Your heart houses more than 39 million neurons. It’s not nearly as many as the head, but it fills this gap with generating the largest electromagnetic field in the body. The heart sends as many messages to the head brain as it receives. Researchers in the field of energy cardiology have discovered that your heart creates thinking hormones similar to the type created in the head brain.

3. The Brain in Your Gut. Your gut brain consists of two nerve centers called the myenteric and the submucosal, which have approximately 100 million neurons. This is more than the spinal cord. The gut produces 70 percent of the hormone cortisol,
