How did we know the brain wasn't a Babbage Engine?

I still think that more cognition and personality takes place in the body than we understand; the brain is ascribed powers and responsibilities that will later be found to happen elsewhere.

It wasn't all that long ago, really, that your question would've been about the liver.
