Any true understanding or new insight originates in the plexus solaris which is near your heart, then somewhat slowly works it way up to the spine. The brain is a somewhat predictable fleshy motor capable of turning the insight into language, storing it in memory, or acting on it. Most of the times we "get by" with the stored procedures in the brain but don't imagine it's the place where original understanding is generated. Funny how the ancient Egyptians understood this but we don't. Of course this is also why all attempts to create AI by simulating what happens in the brain are doomed to hilarious failure.
