The Case for an Inner Twin Brain
Genetic Proof of “Inner Twin” Existing Within the Human Population:
Documented Research in the field of Genetics reveals that some individuals possess an “inner twin” (at least in part), via a condition referred to as Human genetic chimerism. [1]Consider this incidence where a woman’s genetic makeup enabled her to give birth to three children, two belonging to her fraternal twin sister and one to herself:
In 2002, an article in the New England Journal of Medicine describes a woman in whom tetragametic chimerism was unexpectedly identified after undergoing preparations for kidney transplant that required the patient and her immediate family to undergo histocompatibility testing, the result of which suggested that she was not the biologic mother of two of her three children.[2]
There have been other cases documented similar to that of the woman mentioned above— whereby the evidence of chimerism that’s invisible to the naked eye becomes known due to DNA evidence (a field in itself that very new). DNA evidence has since revealed chimerism with hermaphrodites (some people advocate to replace the term with intersex).
There is enough evidence for us to consider the very real possibility of other fully functioning organs within an individual that belongs to their twin, and as the title of this article implies— evidence of a “twin brain” within.
Case of Conjoined Twins Whose Read Each Others Thoughts:
Krista and Tatiana Hogan (born October 25, 2006) are Canadians who are conjoined craniopagus twins. They are joined at the head (the top, back, and sides). They share a thalamus which connects their brainstems. Through this shared brain tissue structure and the interconnected neurons, one brain receives signals from the other brain and vice versa. [3]
