The Heart of the Matter
TL;DR — A short piece arguing the heart is more than a pump — neurocardiology and the ‘heart brain’.
“What does the Heart actually do in our Body? It may be that the Heart is even more special than we have been taught to believe.”
Twelve pages arguing from the intrinsic cardiac nervous system — the cluster of neurons in the heart sometimes called the ‘heart brain’ — toward a larger claim about the heart’s role in cognition and emotion.
⚠️ The anatomy is real; the extrapolation is not mainstream. Intrinsic cardiac neurons exist and heart-rate variability genuinely tracks autonomic state. The further claims about electromagnetic fields and intuition come from HeartMath-adjacent literature and are not supported. Read the first half.
