Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2000 08:23:38 -0400 A physician friend of mine indicates that there is a neural net of sorts in the abdominal area, thus the expression and experience of "gut feelings." He told me that there are actually serotonin processes down there [forgive the vagueness of that statement - I don't have enough medical background to be more biologically accurate] In any event, this would speak against the neuro option - consciousness may not be entirely behind the eyeballs- and the whole may be greater than the sum of the parts which themselves are derived from unexpected locations.
