Memory transplanted between Snails.

Featured Replies

I’d quite like to open a thread discussing the possible pros and cons of using this technique in humans. Where would I post it please?

 

Summary:


Glanzman and his team gave the snails a series of electric shocks to their tails. "The result is, their reflexes were greatly enhanced. If we touched their skin, they'll contract very strongly."
When the snails were good and jumpy, the team extracted RNA from their nervous systems and injected it into untrained snails.
"Twenty-four hours later, we tested the reflexes of those snails, and they showed the same reflexes of those that had been given electrical shocks," Glanzman said.
