    I didn’t know what a vagus nerve was, I just assumed stimulating your bean would probably lift your mood.

      The vagus nerve is actually super interesting and bizarre. It’s this weird long nerve that starts in the upper spinal column and then goes down to connect to a whole bunch of different systems in the body. It’s pretty unique and it seems to have all kinds of weird effects we’re still figuring out.
