The BRAIN in the HEART . Who knew your heart had a brain? ๐ง โค๏ธ
Turns out, this 'little brain' of yoursโ40,000 cheeky neurons deepโisn't just for pumping blood; itโs sending love notes (and some sass) straight to your big brain. ๐๐ซ
Feeling something? Thatโs your heart flirting with your thoughts through its own nervous system, the ICNS. Itโs like a rebellious genius, regulating itself and stealing the show!
So why not treat this naughty overachiever to some TLC? Take care of your heart (and its clever little brain) with iTeraCareโbecause even geniuses need a bit of pampering. ๐๐ฉท๐๐ฉต
On the scientific side: The heart's nervous system contains around 40,000 neurons, called sensory neurites (Armour, 1991). Information from the heart - including feeling sensations - is sent to the brain through several afferents.
The heart has a โlittle brain.โ It's a network of neurons known as the intrinsic cardiac nervous system (ICNS), and it plays a key role in regulating cardiac activity.
Take care of your heart, with iTeracare ๐ฉท๐๐ฉต
