Guest guest Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Yes, this term is used, along with " enteric brain " and " abdominal brain " . But his is not entirely accurate. It is more accurate to say that a substantively independent nervous system exists in the abdomen. But it highest-order functional components are ganglia, there is no " brain " in the true sense.
