Hm, just to add: it take about memories from heart transplants, citing a paper that describes in a minority of cases in both heart and other organ transplants show changed in memories, making the “heart neurons do stuff” a bit less strong.
Also at some point it cites some kind of LinkedIn text that reeks of AI (double sections and unnecessary repetition), so imma call skepticism on this one.
Still agree that the gut and other things have an interesting amount of information to process (or be involved in metabolic/nutrition processes that are super important for good brain functioning, like the whole “a lot of serotonin is made in the gut” thing? But not convinced its comparable to the pretty elaborate neocortical Networks and conscious experience.

I remember an old documentary in which a person, after an heart transplant, had little changes in personality.
If my memory don’t fool me, the donor was a surfer and the recipient started like greeting or something like him.
