The extended mind suggests that the mind does not end at the boundary of our nervous system, but extends into the environment. In the stronger sense, enactivism suggests that the mind does not emerge over neural activity, but over the interaction between body and environment.

Would you say that the contents of mind end at the *boundry of the nervous system* ( Eg. Thoughts &concepts) ?

I've never heard that the gut shapes cognition but that it influences mood states ( which then in turn I suppose might influence cognitive * slants* ( eg optimistic & energetic cheerfulness v * sour* mood.)

I have even heard nondismissable people explain that they use meditation to move their consciousness in the neurons in their stomach :)
