The enteric nervous system: a second brain AND NOW,THE RESEARCH Reveals that our skin is acting as 3rd.Brain. There is extensive evidence that multiple sensory systems are functionally expressed in epidermal  keratinocytes, together with a range of  neurotransmitters and their receptors.  Epidermal keratinocytes also secrete multiple bioactive molecules with the potential to influence whole-body physiology and emotional state. Thus, the epidermis appears to have the functional systems required for reception of environmental information from  sensory organs, processing of that information, and transmission of it to the systems of the whole body.   In other words, the epidermis, like the brain, has the capability to act as an interface between the body and the environment .  Although much further research is needed to validate the idea that the epidermis serves as a “third brain”, this concept is an exciting one, opening up new vistas f...
