When it was found that there was a large cavity in the pelvic region of the spinal column, large enough to house 20 times the nerves that the brain had, scientists theorized that perhaps there was a secondary "brain" there. However, we now know that the cavity near the pelvis housed a glycogen body. Birds have a similar cavity, and its purpose is believed to be to supply glycogen to the nervous system. Thus, like all other vertebrates, Stegosaurus had only one brain.
