"After extensive research, one of the early pioneers in neurocardiology,
Dr. J. Andrew Armour, introduced the concept of a functional "heart
brain" in 1991. His work revealed that the heart has a complex intrinsic
nervous system that is sufficiently sophisticated to qualify as a
"little brain" in its own right. The heart's brain is an intricate
network of several types of neurons, neurotransmitters, proteins and
support cells like those found in the brain proper. Its elaborate
circuitry enables it to act independently of the cranial brain – to
learn, remember, and even feel and sense."

Oh, also, this institute was mentioned in a film I saw the other day. They study the heart and its relation to psychology, emotional health, the brain and so on:
