Imagine discovering that your thoughts, behaviors, and even your personality might be partly controlled by microscopic organisms living inside you. This isn't science fiction-it's the startling reality explored in "This Is Your Brain on Parasites." The natural world is filled with mind-controlling parasites that hijack their hosts' nervous systems with surgical precision.
