Your guide to Second Brain FM
Up on the hill, Second Brain FM’s tower overlooks the whole route. The station is the enteric nervous system: a mesh of hundreds of millions of neurons woven into the gut wall, from The Waterslide all the way Downtown.
It runs digestion locally. It times the squeezes of peristalsis, opens and closes the gates, and tells glands when to pour. It can do all of this without instructions from the brain, though it keeps a line open through the vagus nerve, and most of that nerve’s fibres carry news up from the gut, not orders down.
Your gut has its own nervous system: hundreds of millions of neurons that can run digestion on their own.
Programming is all digestion, all day: the weather, the traffic and the squeezes.
Locals and staff
The station has no microbes on staff. DJ Vagus, the vagus nerve, runs the line to the brain, and Rhamny calls in sometimes, but only to dance.
