I wonder which brain controls the body movement, or if both can control it. Indeed, what the fuck. 2 brains? Which brain controls the body O.O What if both control the body O.O How the fuck is that going to work? My brain just exploded. The article says there are two brains, and two spinal cords. Given that, we can assume there are two central nervous systems. If that's true, then there are probably two primary motor cortices -- one in each brain cortex. When you want to move, you elicit activity at your primary motor region (and other regions). A neuronal ensemble corresponding to a desired movement fires and conveys a complex signal down your spinal cord. These motor neurons synapse to peripheral motor neurons that are located in your spinal cord. So up to this point BOTH heads can enable and command movement. But what we don't know is which CNS neurons synapse to which PNS neurons. Knowing this would allow us to know which limbs receive inputs from which brain! It's interesting actually, because what if both primary motor cortices feed inputs to the same peripheral nerves, thereby endowing the limb in question with responsiveness to both brains? Does one brain "dominate" the other due to stronger synapsing? Does post-developmental plasticity occur, perhaps shaving off the connections from one brain? Do both brains remain equally able to command all parts of the body? Seems like there's a lot of cool stuff to find out about this girls
I love science.

Apparently the twins Abigail and Brittany Hensel both control half of their body. Think about the coordination that takes.

They Hensel twins also differ in the fact that they are known to have two of certain organs such as the heart. Question to you (or any1 else that has a twin/is a twin). Do you play constant tricks on each other and like "pseudo-troll" each other? Thats what I've always wanted to do if I had a twin :x.

I wonder how it must be like to be a one egged twin. Someone with the same exact genes as you. Basically, somebody who is exactly like you. Must be weird and awesome at the same time lol.

The best SC2 player on the rise. One set of eyes on the minimap at all times.. would this be cheating?

Must be weird and awesome at the same time lol. I've got identical twin cousins and identical twin nieces. They're still not the same, physically or mentally. You can tell them apart fairly easily.
For example, one of my nieces has a birthmark where the other doesn't. Her ears stick out a bit less. She's a lot more introverted as opposed to the other one. Her likes & dislikes are different. She's already lighter because she doesn't like sugary stuff or meat as much as the other too. The list goes on.

One question.
When these babies are put into a stressful condition that elicits fear or anything of the like, and BOTH brains send nerve impulses to the adrenal gland, would their body overload in epinephrine and spike up their heartrate so much that they could die?
I mean, they are making their body go through twice the amount of adrenaline than one of us. Shouldn't that be a very concerning part of discussions on whether they would survive or not?

This is really really sad. and funny picks come on...thats stupid
I hope they can survive and do the bes tthey can do

Not that I agree with them, but I think wishing disfigurement on someones children is a little much for them making a joke.

Siamese twins have always fascinated me. Bet they'd be beasts at RTS games!
What I want to know is, how will the heart be able to support the rate of two people, who controls how to walk, etc.

For fapping... if you have the twin move the arm... way better than a "stranger",,, every fap is an HJ!

A properly functioning endocrine system should have negative feedback loops to stop the excess of any hormone so I don't think that this would be a problem but obviously this is a very special case so you can't be sure.

So what happens if one takes the red pill and the other takes the blue pill?

Tho it was stated before and its kinda cruel the picture does make an old wow and wc player like myself think of "ogre" when i first see it. On a serious note tho i think they would have a hard time in Brazil if the country is as religious as i thought it was tho i might be mistaking and Brazil is really large... Other then that gl to them to making it to maturity, would be kinda annoying to live like that but if you get used to it as a kid it might to seems so for all i know.
Edit: thinking about it, if they have 1 set of organs, will the lungs/heart be "strong" enough to support both brains ?

Just makes me wonder... what if they were male and female? O_O!!
