Detailed Description: Hijacking of a neuro-cognitive system of a target by an attacker through biological or other means. For example, when a Ophiocordyceps Unilateralis is consumed by an ant, it assumes control of the ant's behavior and compells it to crawl to the tip of a blade of grass where the ant is consumed by a sheep, for the "purpose" of ending up in the sheep's digestive tract, which is the environment where the parasite then lives.
