In general I'm a huge fan of not underestimating non-centralized nervous systems. We humans with our huge rear end brains think that size matters here, but as with many invertebrates, there are other concepts that do not involve having a big center of nerves in one place, which may be efficient in some cases, but very hindering in others, not to say about the vulnerability of having all the vital stuff in one spot.

Humans don't even have a centralized brain. There have been increasing references to the "second brain." You know those gut feelings you get? Those are real. That is literally all the nervous bullshit going on in your stomach telling you something. That sinking feeling in your gut that something is wrong usually means that something is, in fact, wrong. We mostly don't notice it as its primary job is keeping all that complex digestive machinery doing its thing and it's entirely subconscious but it's definitely there. Even so digestion is a really complex task especially when you're as complex as a person.

Even so, you know those times where you get a really bizarre craving for something oddly specific totally out of nowhere? There's a reason for that; your second brain knows what's going on and is telling you "I need whatever is in that thing I'm telling you to go eat."

This is also probably why antidepressants can cause stomach or intestinal problems. Since it's functionally a second brain increasing serotonin levels affects it which can sometimes cause problems.
