What if the main function of the immune system is not to eliminate and control other microorganisms in the body, but to farm and selectively breed them?
Exactly. But what do you think brain damage is, other than a regulation defect caused by genetics or the wrong microorganisms?

I believe that certain neutral tissues (i.e. different areas of the brain + gut) perform the computation necessary for gut microbe selection. It has been shown GI illnesses often follow brain injury, and I believe this is because the selection mechanism(s) has/have been damaged.
