Conjoined Twins Share One Mind
These conjoined twins share the same mind. Meaning they can literally read each other's mind and if one of them eat too much, the other one is full.
Their condition is rare in and of itself - Krista and Tatiana Hogan are conjoined twins - but it's where they are conjoined that amazes people.
The twin girls, who are 4 years old, were born with craniopagus, meaning they were fused at the skull. And these girls have shocked doctors - they literally share one mind, meaning they can hear each other's thoughts and see through each other's eyes, The New York Times reported.
Krista and Tatiana, who live in Vernon, British Columbia, share the part of the brain called the thalamus.
If one girl is drinking or eating too much, the other will feel full.
"It's like they are one and two people at the same time," Todd Feinberg, a professor of psychiatry and neurology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, told the Times.
