Human brain is two separate organs, research finds

Seems to be based on the Stanford article: https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2026/09/two-separate-...

For those interested in brain evolution and practical neuroscience/human behavior:

Carl Sagan's books "Broca's Brain" and "The Dragons of Eden" from the 70's-80's are good initial reads on brain composition and evolution. The Sapolsky lectures and books are also great resources.

So hindbrain is the OS kernel and forebrain the application server ?
