Gut Butterflies
Have you ever felt like butterflies were flapping their
wings in your stomach? Have you ever heard someone say, “I went with my gut?”
Likely that referred to signals from your ENS or Enteric Nervous system, now
dubbed Your Second Brain. That is because your gut is filled with neurons that
try to get your attention to give you information when it is deemed you need to
know. A sense of butterflies in your stomach can result from a surge of stress
hormones released during a fight-or-flight event. Another way of getting communication through to the conscious portion of your brain is through the messages sent from the gut neurons up to your brain neurons.
