Reading Brody's article in the Times
(<http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/02/health/02brod.html>), and she says 

"The gut and brain are intimately connected, with more nerve cells in
the intestines than in the central nervous system."

I thought the CNS consisted of the brain and spinal cord, and that there
are upwards of 100 billion neurons in the brain alone.  Is she saying
that there are more neurons in your gut than your brain?  If so, is that
true?
