Title's a tad bit click baity, mysterious implies the function and what the organ is is a mystery. Previously unknown would be a better description.

It is pretty cool to find a new set of major salivary glands right at the center of the head though. It's pretty amazing the things that are still hidden right in front of us, even when it comes to the human body.


As someone that gets gustatory rhinitis from time to time, that sure would explain a lot. Maybe.
