      I don’t think so! If they could they would be super clever.

      No, there’s not enough room. If it was it would be a nightmare anyway as they would just argue!

      I am not sure about this. I don’t think so and I have never heard of it happening!

      You have two halves to your brain, and it is possible for the tissue joining them (the corpus callosum) to be split (sometimes surgically). This essentially gives you two brains and all sorts of interesting side effects as your left and right brain fail to talk to each other.
