Actually, yes, that head probably did contain another "mind", if you will. All a brain needs is properly oxygenated blood to function. Might have been a little rough on the host, what with sharing bloodflow and all, but if it was smiling and blinking it must have been doing alright. It may have perhaps shared a nervous system with the host as well, although those lumps dangling from the "parasite" head may have very well been a complete brain stem and some loose nerve endings. Weird, huh?
I'd like to see that kinda thing in my next human anatomy class. Today's dissection: A parasite head!
