Heart's 'mini-brain' neural network mapped, revealing independent control capacity

Researchers have detailed the heart's intrinsic nervous system, a complex network of neurons often called the 'mini-brain,' which independently manages heart rate and function. The findings clarify how this system operates and suggest potential for novel cardiac therapies. The report is based on National Geographic coverage, with details still emerging.
