    Mind-Control —

    When the parasite Toxoplasma Gondii infects a mouse it makes the mouse less fearful & more exploratory

    This makes it more likely that the mouse will end up eaten by a cat and in the cat's belly, where the parasite can sexually reproduce

    The mouse's behaviour is an adaptation — not for the mouse but for the parasite
