Did Sauropods Have Two Brains?

No, completely false. The two-brain theory was a mere myth. The existence of an enlarged neural canal near the hip region of huge dinosaurs like Stegosaurus was initially thought of as the second brain's location, to control the motions of the tail. Paleontologists have found no proof for this claim.

Did sauropods have small brains?

Did Stegosaurus really have two brains?
