Worth noting that the ancient Egyptians used to think that the brain produced mucus and snot, and that your "mind" was actually in your heart.

Reply to comment by Ellie-Bright in ELI5: How did we realise the mind is in the brain? by theembryo
Because this is a thread about how we came to realise the brain and mind were in the same place. It's just a bit of historical context that I thought was worth noting (as it just shows humans have had varied ideas about the mind and brain... Who's to say any of us are correct? Maybe the mind is just a localisation of a collective consciousness idk)
