Introduction
mBraining is a field within neuroscience developed in 2012 by Grant Soosalu and Marvin Oka. It postulates the idea of the human body having multiple brains, including the heart brain, the head brain, and the gut brain. The authors define a brain as follows:


 * Large numbers of neurons and ganglia, including sensory neurons and motor neurons
 * Neural cells with inter-neurons, neurons re-entrantly interconnecting with other neurons
 * Support cells and components such as glial cells, astrocytes, proteins, etc.
 * Functional attributes, perceiving/assimilating information, processing information, memory, storage and access.
 * Able to mediate complex reflexes via an intrinsic nervous system (ie it doesn't need the head brain to direct it, it functions even in the complete absence of a head brain)
 * A chemical warehouse of neurotransmitters (those found in the head brain are also found in the gut and heart brains).
