Case Study: Krista and Tatiana Hogan
Krista and Tatiana Hogan are Canadian conjoined twins connected at the head. Their case is of significant interest to neuroscientists because of evidence suggesting their brains are linked, possibly at the thalamus, a primary sensory relay center. This unique situation offers a rare opportunity to study how the brain processes sensory information. A CBC video provides further details on their lives.
