365 days of Twinipedia - Day 8

Day Eight of  Twinipedia: 

 Fact #8:

Identical twins have almost identical brain wave patterns. They also can share very similar physical characteristics; for instance, if one twin's tooth doesn't grow in, his or her identical twin will most likely miss the tooth as well. Mirror twins are identical twins with mirror characteristics - one may have a dimple on the left side, and the other a dimple on the right side.  Thus they look like they are looking in a mirror when looking at one another.

Mirror twins: 

Representative pair of female mirror twins. Twin A and twin B have been digitally overlapped.  
When digitally subtracted from each other, the image shows symmetrical “ghosting” consistent 
with anatomic mirroring of the pair’s skin findings.
