I'm by no means an expert on the topic. I have a colleague who used to work on brain-gut interaction. His studies were all in mice, so I know that it's not unique to humans, but how different humans are from other animals isn't something I know anything about, sadly. I've been reading a lot recently about how the immune system affects the brain, which is also a complicated, but fascinating topic. All these things just go to show how much of a whole we are. I know I preach this all the time, and it might be getting stale, but don't ever believe the hype when anyone says that your brain thinks X, Y or Z. A person is so much more than circuits.
