Snails? Can’t imagine waiting around for the snail to move far enough to demonstrate that it remembered something- talk about boring- couldn’t they have picked a road runner or something?

Snail gets mugged by two slugs.
Police ask him to describe his attackers.
“I don’t know. It all happened so fast!”

That it do.
Cloning, artificial intelligence, etc, etc.
Would be great if we could jump forward a thousand or so years and see what these various breakthroughs will lead to.

It explains many things we already knew but could not believe. For instance, perhaps preferences and prejudices our ancestors learned from experience might be hardwired into us. And why not, such an ability to pass learned information to our offspring would confer a competitive advantage in the race for survival

There already were other (separate) studies showing that planarians and again with flatworms learned a maze faster if fed from the remains of their own kind who already had learned the same maze.
It would have been an interesting confirmation to repeat the experiment by feeding the invertebrates from their own kind who learned a different maze, to see if that impacted negatively on their learning ability.

Ah, but did the second snail learn the way through the maze quicker because of added brainpower.

Some day they may be able to transfer the entire contents of someone’s brain to another person, or computer.
